2025 Shime Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

* [Fukuoka] Shime Teba An izakaya in Shimemachi. We recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends. Their specialty is "Shime Teba". This time we had it with "salt". They also have curry, sauce, garlic, etc. The chicken wings are delicious♡ Everything I ate was delicious♡🥰 But When you're eating chicken wings, you become silent, just like with crab🤣 It's also nice that there's a partition so it's like a semi-private room♡ 📍 2-8-14 Shime Higashi, Shimemachi, Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka #Shime Teba #Chicken Wings #Izakaya #Shime #Shimemachi Gourmet #Shime Gourmet #Fukuoka Gourmet #Fukuoka Tourism #Fukuoka Tourism

#WesternJapan A cake shop near Fukuoka Airport "Rothenburg" Their baumkuchen and mont blanc are really delicious. Mont blanc has a 30 minute expiration date I have to eat it while the meringue is still crispy, so I went straight home and made it just in time Baumkuchen is also only available for cherry blossoms in spring Not only was it cute when the cherry blossoms bloomed, but it was really delicious💕

It is really convenient to rent a car in Fukuoka, and this platform introduction is really good! These were picked up near the airport! Self-driving tours

#cherryblossom25 Just when I thought the cherry blossom season was coming to an end, I discovered the late-blooming Yaezakura (double-flowered cherry blossoms) still in full bloom! 🌸💖 Unlike the early-blooming varieties, Yaezakura bloom from mid-April to the end of the month, and this time I had the chance to witness a magnificent sea of these flowers at Isshinji Temple in Oita, Kyushu! 🌸✨ What makes this place even more special is that it's not a popular tourist spot, so it’s a peaceful, uncrowded haven for anyone who wants to enjoy cherry blossoms in peace. The temple is almost deserted, with just a few occasional visitors, meaning you can take your time, snap endless photos, and truly soak in the beauty. 📸💕 There are so many unique colors of cherry blossoms here — from the classic soft pink to beautiful green, golden, and even gradient-colored blossoms. And the best part? You can enjoy the cherry blossoms at night as well, where they’re beautifully lit up, offering a completely different and magical view! 🌟🌸 Entry is only 1000 yen, and it’s totally worth it. This spot is perfect for those who are driving through Kyushu. Just park your car at Isshinji’s parking lot, take a short walk, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by an enchanting sea of pink blossoms. 🚗🌿 So if you’re planning a trip to Kyushu during cherry blossom season, definitely make a stop at Isshinji Temple for a serene and stunning sakura experience! 😍🌸 #travel

#thingstodo A very spatial park with lots of different activities/playgrounds, great for all ages! They have a grass (artificial) sleighing hill where you can rent boards (I'm pretty sure it was free). Roughly 20000 seater stadium. Access is quite poor for park a ride and drop off locations during big games. I have watched Avispa play here and we were dropped off a little closer but for the rugby world cup we had to walk around 20 minutes to the stadium. It's a small but adequate stadium. There is no roof so be prepared if you watch something during poor weather.

#fallishere I may have found the perfect udon place in Japan and that would be Marugame Seimen Udon restaurant. This udon specialty restaurant allows you to mix and match your udon ingredients. First, you choose your udon portion size and if you want it soup or dry or If you want it with egg or meat, then after that, you can mix and match different tempura ingredients to go along with your noodles. I love that the menu is not fixed. Their udon is also thick and chewy, which is perfect. Try this udon specialty restaurant if you're ever in Japan!

#FukuokaTourism [AEON Mall Fukuoka] 192-1 Oinoki, Sakadono, Kasuya-machi, Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka 10:00-21:00 A huge AEON Mall! It's so big that you can enjoy just walking around. You won't get bored even if you're there all day. There are more stores than other AEON Malls. This was my first time using the AEON Mall lounge. You can get a free cup of coffee, juice, tea, or mineral water. It's a great place to take a break from shopping 🙆‍♀️ This is a time-based system, so you must make a reservation. I went to the lounge on the day and was able to make a reservation on the spot. I was able to enter 5 minutes later.

* Shime Town/ Kneaded Udon "Kon" Every time I go to Kon, I ask for vegetable tempura topping. I recommend it☺️ This time I got chikuwa tempura on top, so it's even more voluminous♡ The udon is sooooooooo good♡ so please come♡ 📍 34-4 Minamizato, Shime-machi, Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture #KonKonNerikomiUdon #Kon #Udon #FukuokaUdon #FukuokaLunch #FukuokaGourmet #BuzenUrauchiKai #Shime-machi #Shime-machiGourmet #Shime-machiLunch #FukuokaTourism
