I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
It was our last day of our trip. Again, it is always sad to leave. Our flight was at 1pm today and we did not want to stress out rushing to the airport last minute again so we decided to just head over to the airport and eat and do some shopping there instead of… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 8 (Fukuoka)
It was our last day in our villa and we really made the most out of our time here by staying till the last minute. We took time to really soak in the beautiful scenery and serene atmosphere on our patio. The breakfast was once again lovely. On this day, there were a few more… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 7 (Oguni – Mount Aso – Fukuoka)
It was day 2 of our road trip and it was raining miserably. Luckily, we don’t have to go very far for breakfast.

We appeared to be the only guests at the 9am seating that morning… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 6 (Kurokawa Onsen – Oguni)
It’s road trip time! We started the day early to pick up our rental car at Times Rental near Hakata Station. Unfortunately, we head to deal with Japan rush hour on the train again; however, this time was a little more manageable given Fukuoka is not as big of a city as Tokyo. We made… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 5 (Fukuoka – Oguni)
We started off the day late after having a late night last night, which was fine because the pancake place we wanted to go to was not open until 10am.

Given the limited size of our room, I wait in bed till Aaron awakes from his slumber and we were off from some breakfast in preparation for an eventful day.

First full day in Fukuoka and we’re off on an adventure to the nearby Nokonoshima Island! But first, we must grab some quick bites at a nearby 7-Eleven. I’ve been hearing all about the Japanese egg sandwiches, so I needed to get that. Aaron went with the more traditional, onigiri. Eating the sandwich made me… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 2 (Fukuoka)
After many hours on the plane and in various airports, we finally made it to Fukuoka, Japan. It was late in the evening when we arrived. Luckily, the airport is pretty much in the city so it only took us around 15 minutes to get to the hotel by Tenjin station. Valie Hotel Tenjin, is… Continue reading Japan 3.0: Day 1 (Fukuoka)
International On our latest flight to Japan, we decided to fly with Japan Airlines (JAL). In the past, we have mostly flown with Air Canada. Since the prices were more reasonable with JAL, we gave up trying to book with a Star Alliance airline. We did not get to earn Aeroplan miles, but I have… Continue reading Japan Airlines Economy Class (International) and Class J (Domestic) Review
