This page is from the first day of my trip to Kumamoto and Fukuoka in June 2024.
Haneda Airport
Today is Friday, but the event will be held on Sunday.Whiskey Talk Fukuoka” I will move to participate in the event.
A recent problem is that travel destinations are becoming more and more common.
Whiskey Talk ``Fukuoka'As the name suggests, it will be held in Fukuoka.
『Whiskey Talk Fukuoka” will not be held in Hokkaido next year, “Whiskey Talk Fukuoka”, you will have to visit Fukuoka every year.
When you visit Fukuoka, eat tonkotsu ramen, eat offal hotpot, and drink whiskey. . It ends up being the same content every year. .
When you participate in events every year, not just in Fukuoka, you end up doing the same things and eating the same things every year, and you can't help but get stuck in a routine. .
I do try to change the food and restaurants I eat. .
So, in order to avoid any confusion, this time I will first head to Kumamoto.
The Minatoya Lounge
Before heading to Kumamoto, I decided to fill up on my stomach, so I went to a Tsukeniku soba restaurant called 'The Minatoya Lounge” I visited.
I'm not sure if it can be called soba, but I was able to enjoy the junky soba noodles.
Lounge ~ In-flight
I had been feeling unwell with a cold the day before my departure, and since I'm recovering from the illness, I'm still refraining from drinking alcohol.
So, I had coffee in the lounge and water during the in-flight service.
Kumamoto Airport - Bus Terminal
I arrived at Kumamoto Airport in about 1 hour and 40 minutes from Haneda Airport.
The last time I visited Kumamoto was three years ago, and at that time it was still under renovation, but the construction had been completed and it was beautiful.
After arriving at Kumamoto Airport, we will immediately move towards the city area.
The basic means of access between Kumamoto Airport and the city center is by bus, which takes about 1 hour.
Since it was around evening, there was traffic congestion as we approached the city, so we arrived about 10 to 20 minutes late.
There is no toilet on the bus, so we recommend using the toilet beforehand. .
Kumamoto is a nice place, but the drawback is that the airport and the city center are too far apart. .
In Kumamoto, the area around the bus terminal is more prosperous than the area around Kumamoto Station.
The arcade street is spread out like this, and you can find everything from food to shopping to hotels.
Also, once you get to the bus terminal, there are buses going to various directions, as well as streetcars, so you won't have any trouble getting around.
Kohrantei Shimotori main store
After arriving at the bus terminal, I decided to fill up on my stomach, so I decided to eat Taipingyan, a Kumamoto specialty.Kohrantei Shimotori main store” I visited.
Taipingyan is basically Champon noodles turned into vermicelli noodles.
My impression was that it was delicious, but lacking in filling. .
Kurotei Shimotori store
Since Taipingyan was unable to satisfy the stomachs of the growing population, the nearby restaurant ``Kurotei Shimotori store”.
The last time I visited Kurotei was about 5 years ago, and at that time I found the flavor to be quite bland, but this time it had a strong flavor and was delicious.
Hot water lax
After dinner, we took a bus to the sauna lover's sacred place in the west, where we would be staying today.Hot water lax” I came to.
After checking in, I took a bath, rested for a while, and then received an aufguss.
Afterwards, enjoy fried horse mackerel at a restaurant and experience with your skin and taste the reason why it is a sacred place in the west, and the first day ends.
Continued on the second day.
On the second day,here』
