FIRST TIME IN JAPAN: Day 1

FUKUOKA CITY
June 2-5, 2016

A dream come true to finally go to Japan! We've been wanting to go to Japan since it is one of the best destinations to go in Asia. The family had been planning to go for our family vacation since it was on college break for the both of us. It was so easy for us to get a Japan VISA and so we booked a cheap flight ticket and an Airbnb months before the trip. We rented a studio apartment room with a stairway going to the loft. It was similar to a traditional Japanese room which made everything small but very comfy during the whole stay and convenient to go to nearby places and to the bus station as bus was headed to the train station.

We didn't go to the typical cities often visited by tourists such as Tokyo, Kyoto or Osaka. Our uncle who goes to Japan all the time suggested to go to Fukuoka. I think it's the smallest populated city  compared to the others and the quietest and peaceful cities I've ever been to. The whole trip was for 3 days so we spent our time wisely to go to the ancient temples, famous beach, shopping malls, street food and restaurants.

P.S. started to blog again after YEARSSSS HAHAHA :)

Passport ready!

As soon as we got out of the airport, we felt the breeze and clean smell of the cold ice air. It was the best feeling ever!
