Ichiran's version was the first ramen bowl that I've finished in 2019.
 

Japan 2019: Ichiran Tonkotsu Ramen, Fukuoka - Hakata Branch

I've read a lot of negative comments from people and they say that this isn't good or it's overhyped and overrated. Even recommending that tourists skip this and should visit other ramen shops especially since there are numerous ramen restaurants and yatai stalls in Hakata Area.

I like Ichiran though. There would be better ramens than this but the choices can get overwhelming. So, for the safest bet that is also consistently delicious, Ichiran is still worth a trip.

You'd pay your order through that machine, fall in line, you'll be given a checklist on how you want your ramen to be served.


Shouldn't be confusing even for first timers because there are translations available.


Once seated, you'll hand over the ticket and checklist so they can prepare your ramen. 



 I'd love to come back here if I find myself back in the area again. This brand, probably because it's the first ramen I had in Japan, is somehow a comfort food for me. 

Probably about time for me to explore more ramen flavors though. As far as I can remember, I've only eaten tonkatsu based ramen in Japan. Miso, shoyu, and shiyo.

Someday, in a different prefecture.
Someday, in another Japan trip. 💖💖💖

As far as I know, you have five options to get to Uminonakamichi Seaside Park in Fukuoka. 

1. Train
2. Bus
3. Ferry
4. Cab
5. Private Transfer

So far, we've taken two kinds of transportation: Train and Ferry

We were from Nanzoin Temple when we went here via train. You can follow the suggested route in Google Map but make sure to alight at the station after Marine World Uminonakamichi if you want to reach the West Gate faster.

Fukuoka, Japan 2019: Spring at Uminonakamichi Seaside Park


We were there on a weekday so there were no food sellers in the area. Since we were from Nanzoin, we haven't taken our lunch yet so we were famished. This Takoyaki store near the gate saved us for that afternoon. 

Better option is to get something from the convenience store before going here just to make sure you have something to snack on if you become hungry. The park is quite huge. You can actually spend an entire day walking there. I don't know where to rent a bicycle but that is also an option.


10 pieces for 550 Yen. 




There are drinks vending machine outside the Ferry Station. We didn't know if it was possible to eat inside so we ate our Takoyaki here.


Make sure to check the ferry schedule so you can maximize your time inside the park. A lot of people arrived just in time for the ferry 'cause they knew the schedule beforehand, we didn't. 






Ferry Fare was 450 Yen per person. 

Btww, that nail design/ nail gel was gifted to me by Jinro Soju.

The ferry ride was less than 30 minutes.

Looking for anything anime related in Hakata? Look no further, 'cause you'll find this store in Canal City. 

Bandai Namco Cross Store


Japan in itself is already interesting for travelers but it definitely hits different for someone who watches anime. Just a background, I only started watching anime in 2020 so I didn't feel anything seeing several anime related stuff the first time I went to Hakata. 


As someone who recently became a fan, I felt "kilig" that during our stay in Hakata, there were several time-limited One Piece exhibits there such as this Mugiwara Cross Store and the Canal Aqua Panorama.

LUCKYYYY!!

One Piece Water Spectacle 3 was totally unexpected. We went there for the Water Fountain Show and then we saw this schedule. We ate dinner in the mall (Saizeriya) then went back to the water fountain area at 21:00.

It was Doraemon that we saw in 2019.

Japan 2019: Canal City Mall, Hakata, Fukuoka (Water Fountain Show)


Anyway, back to the Bandai Namco Cross Store Photos



We saw this on our last day in Hakata.

We were just killing time after having lunch at the Ramen Stadium and before heading to the airport. I wasn't able to look at all the Gashapon and exhibits inside because we only had about an hour to spare.


 I went around a few Gashapon machines and Mugiwara Store. HAY NAKOO! Kinda missing circa 2019 when I didn't have an interest for anything anime-related. chos. HAHAHA!


When I searched the Google Map for "Gashapon," I only saw those in Parco Mall, Tenjin. We went there but there weren't a lot of options so I concluded that it's probably 'cause we weren't in Tokyo so the choices were limited not until we saw this store in Hakata. NANI?!


Places We Visited in Tokyo, Japan 2023





If you're an anime fan or someone who just like cool and cute stuff, better ready your wallet beforehand because you'll definitely find something you'd like. While these may have the coolest stuff, they may also have the weirdest and most random stuff as well. 

Whether to be ready because you're spending a lot, or to be ready because you'd have to restrain yourself a lot, up to you. 


This area was for the One Piece Card Game. I have no idea how the game is done though.






Mugiwara Cross Store was only until February 25, 2024 but watch out for new schedule. Shouldn't be the last time for them to have a One Piece Cross Store since the anime has a huge following. ehem





I don't always buy Gashapon Capsules but when I do, I always got the design I wanted. Kaya nawiwili!!! HAHA.

The only ones that got me trying my luck were Spy x Family and One Piece ones. 



A huge store for Anime Merchandise.

 This was our "Sayang naman" place out of all the places we visited. Like what I mentioned above, we were just killing time before our flight. We already spent our money shopping before this so we didn't have enough budget and luggage space to buy more stuff. HAHAHAHA. To think that Canal City was only a few minutes walk away from our hotel, really can't believe we failed to notice the store even if we passed by there on our way to Alpen during our second night in Fukuoka. 😂 There was even an escalator that leads to our hotel from this mall and we pass by that bridge/escalator on the way back to the hotel from the subway station.


Anyway, shouldn't be the last time. Hakata, Fukuoka?



Makabalik sana. <3

My first love!

Shun Oguri was the reason I started watching JDoramas more than a decade ago (Hana Yori Dango, Gokusen, Hana Kimi etc.) My younger self would be elated that I am finally able to visit Japan. HAHAHA. Nakatikim na rin ng daifuku na kinain ni Makino Tsukushi bago niya makita si Hanazawa Rui tapos nahuli sila ni Dumyoji Tsukasa. 😂

@xtintina15 While fountain show in Canal City Mall is a nightly attraction, we chanced upon a One Piece Water Spectacle that was scheduled to be shown for only a week (2/19-2/25).

Updated Fukuoka Airport International Departure photos taken during our trip in February 2024. 

Japan 2019: Arrival and Departure at FUK Airport + Itinerary and Royce Chocolates

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! :)
