As a Japanese person living in Fukuoka, I feel that not only Fukuoka but all of Kyushu should remain underrated. This is because I don’t want to see an increase in tourists who cause trouble or fail to follow the rules. I wish all tourists who come to Japan were like you—people who respect Japanese culture. But too many people mistakenly think of Japan as an amusement park. I hope Kyushu will be protected from disruptive tourists. That’s why I’d prefer it if you didn’t spread the word about how great Kyushu is online.

良く旅行や出張で行く都市です。日本人の間では人気。これ以上、混雑はしないでほしいとも思う。住みたい街ランキングで1位になっていましたね。 <br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2F14CJ5H9E&t=95">1:35</a>~ 私は地元ではないですが、福岡の地下鉄や私鉄は、約20年前から(2000年代後半から~)交通系ICカードに対応してますよ(東京Suicaや大阪のICOCA、そのほか日本中どこで買ったICカードでも使えます、沖縄だけ別かな)。福岡地下鉄、私鉄は交通系ICカードに100%の駅で対応しているけど。・・。 <br> <br>私もその頃から福岡にかなりの回数行っていますが、他地域や地元の交通系ICカードかモバイルSuica(携帯)使っていて、一度も現金使ったことないですね。日本人が国内旅行する時、どこに行ってもほぼ交通系ICカードかモバイル(携帯)を使い、現金は使わないでしょう。面倒なので。 <br> <br>外国人旅行者向けには、VISAなどクレジットカードも福岡の地下鉄、私鉄で対応しているし・・ちょっとわざと現金を使っているようで変でした。動画のネタであれば仕方ないですが。 <br> <br>券売機は、外国人の方が、短期間の旅行であれば、ICカードを買いたくなく、またクレジットカードも使いたくない人の為に、昔の券売機をそのまま残しているのではないでしょうか。 <br>撤去にも費用がかかるので、観光の為にも残しているかもしれません。

Fukuoka is underrated because its international connections are Neighbouring country centric. Most tourists to the city are from either Korea, Taiwan, or China. if one is from Western countries, you don't come to Japan for the sake of Fukuoka that is the reason why its underrated.

This video made me miss Fukuoka ! Great place if you love food and want to interact with locals. I still think about fried ramen from Yatai to this day. Hakata ramen is also my favorite and so affordable down there, the mini gyoza and yakitori I tried were all incredible too. Made so many friends at the yatai who wanted me to try everything. It was so wholesome they didn't want me to pay for it, they were just happy to see me enjoying the food :) can't wait to go back someday. Which time of year did you visit?

If you ever go to "Ito King," you should definitely try their "Amaou Strawberry Shake" next time. It is absolutely delicious!Also, during the winter season, they sell frozen Amaou strawberries coated in chocolate. That is also amazing, so please give it a try next time!

haha you had a good time at the yatai<br>i think you probably should've waited until now to visit though, the weather is actually bearable and you can explore.<br>right up until last week it was unbearable. I like to think of myself as strong against the heat but jesus, I was dying out there on my bicycle <br><br>also, as someone who's been in Fukuoka 20 years, I strongly recommend car rental and getting around itoshima, karatsu, all the islands around there, takeo, yobuko --- well, the list goes on. those places are absolutely amazing, esp around hanami season. <br><br>hell you seem like a good enough guy, perhaps if you mail me i'll give you a real tour in my honda n-box show you what 99.9% of tourists miss
