Hi all! I'm planning a trip with my partner in May, and this is our third time in Japan! We've been through the golden route and are looking to spend a couple of days in Fukuoka + day trips. We're looking to see if our itinerary makes sense in terms of area planning and if we have too little or too much to do in one day. We enjoy simply just walking around, enjoying cool/lively/scenic areas, so if you guys have any more ideas around the area, we would appreciate recommendations! Any good restaurant recommendations are also appreciated; we're open to eating anything!
