Fukuoka, Japan: International Airport and Royce (Again)
Updated Fukuoka Airport International Departure photos taken during our trip in February 2024.
Travelers will understand that Japan Travel is synonymous to shopping or as we call it in Filipino, "BUDOL!" haha. And yes, until the time when you're already waiting to board your flight, there's Royce. Airports/ Duty Free of Japan are the best place to purchase Royce Chocolate especially if you're buying Nama. For the bar chocolates, if you want to purchase them beforehand then I think that's fine.
Fukuoka airport isn't far from the city. It took us less than 30 minutes to get here from our hotel in Hakata. We took the cab that costs around 2,300 Yen.
Only in Japan did we have a difficult time packing our luggage. Good thing we bought foldable bags despite thinking that we've left ample space for the shopping.
It's Don Quijote, Matsumoto Kiyoshi, Outlet Stores' Fault! HAHAHA
This photo is taken after the check in counter, immigration, and x-ray. During our first time, our boarding gate was on the right side when facing Duty Free. This time, it's on the left side.
The line at the cashier was super long at this part since this is the first you'll see when you get inside. This was where I bought my Royce before but compared to the number of people from 2019, Fukuoka Airport is way crowded this time.
That's the counter queue.
There's another counter with shorter line near the boarding gates when you walk to the left. I just don't know if all the products sold here are available there as well. I only focused in getting Royce chocolates but I'll be posting other items you can get from there.
Fukuoka Airport is being expanded and renovated.
The completion is scheduled in November 2025.
This is the other souvenir store. The options aren't probably as many like the first store but the queue is significantly shorter.
Manifesting an Uji, Kyoto trip! 🙏⭐
My favorite Japanese Chocolate.
I really love Royce's Matcha Nama Chocolate when purchased in Japan because I can afford the price there. If not, I'd stick with my other all-time favorite, Meiji.
Oo na. Mas mahal pa rin mag byahe sa Japan kesa bumili rito... hahaha
I wanted to bring home mentaiko but I don't think I'd be able to finish them all before they go bad so I stuck with mentaiko mayo.
Manifesting more Anessa bottles for me? HAHAHA
Cremiaaaaaaa.
Hokkaido milk in soft served
One of my favorite matcha cafes.
Well, 'cause this has become more accessible to me even here in Manila. And when we went to Hong Kong last year, we were able to use the 100HKD voucher here so I drank and ate my fill. 😏
Just had to drink my favorite before boarding.
Until next time, Japan! :)
