  • All the best things to do, see and eat in #fukuokajapan during spring!
    It's #springinjapan which means it's Cherry Blossom season 桜の花 (or hanami 花見)!
    For the first part of our 2 week trip around Kyushu, we explore #fukuokacity 福岡市. From the bustling and vibrant energy of Hakata Station 博多駅 to the scenic and serene Ohori Park 大濠公園, there are so many unique local attractions and places to visit in this Western Japanese city.
    What to do during spring in Japan? We start with a curry truck and bento breakfast by the park, discover the best of Kyushu via a sake festival right, stumble upon a unique cherry blossom night at Maizuru Park 舞鶴公園 , and of course, enjoy all the tamago sandos, udons and Japanese cafes along the way.
    Next week, we’re going to vintage shopping in Fukuoka, so stay tuned!

    Moving around in Fukuoka with Hayakaken is literally like a local!! My favorite izakaya place in Hakata is “Gyoza no Las Vegas (餃子のラスベガス)”. Pls give it a try for your next visit 🥟🩶

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Thanks for the tip! We saw Gyoza Las Vegas on the map but had udon instead. Will try it next time. Hayakaken card is so useful! ✨️

    Just got back from a Kansai-Kanto spring vacation and followed your Yanaka Ginza itinerary before heading to Narita via Sky Liner, and I must say it's super worth it! Got some neko stamp souvenir and tried different food stalls, and although the lockers at the Nippori station were filled, the nearby APA hotel allows baggage check-in service which only costs Y800. Also the sakura scene in Nippori is also an experience on its own. Would definitely visit Fukuoka after a winter break in Hokkaido next year. Thanks for all the tips on where to go! :)

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Wow, that's awesome! So glad you enjoyed Yanaka 😊 Great tip about the APA hotel storage too. It's actually about the same price as the station locker. Yes, please visit Fukuoka when you get the chance 🌸 Thank you so much for watching!

    Stayed in the same hotel as well and loved the open area near the reception. Watched your Fukuoka and Hiroshima vlogs and made me miss both areas since I went there last February. Tourists should also visit these areas because it’s such a gem! 🩷

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  Před měsícem +1

      Awesome! Enjoyed slowing down and spending some time at the lobby as well. Very relaxing. And yes, hope more people give these cities a chance! Definitely worth the visit. 🤍

    You should go to a Japanese book store to get travel inspiration. They got lots of travel guides.

    Hallo ralph and sam!!! Your vlogs are always soothing to watch and thank you for putting all the work as always, top quality vlogging :)
    I am also curious can I just ask what fujifilm cameras do you recommend? Thank you in advance!

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  Před 2 měsíci

      Thanks so much 🌸
      Fujfilm XT4 or 5 is great, just make it's a prime lens. The x100v or vi are also good but always sold out 😊
      Honestly I shot with a film camera more. Will post the film on the vlog this weekend ✨️

    I got a sneaking suspicion that Ralph likes eggs...
    Which egg dish was the best tho?

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Hahaha I would say the egg roll we got at Hakata station. Wasabi was a nice touch. More egg dishes to come especially with mentaiko 🥚🥚🥚

    Are there available IC cards sa train station to Hakata if ever?

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  Před 25 dny

      Not sure if IC cards are available now as there was a shortage recently. But you can try to find them in less popular train stations.

    Did the Vietnamese kill the buffalo for their horns? I hope not. 😬🙏

    • @RalphSam
      @RalphSam  Před 2 měsíci +1

      i read that in their culture, buffalo are a food source but aren't killed just for their horns. they make the jewelry as a way of repurposing each part of the buffalo so that it doesn't go to waste.
