It's also a good idea to have a few photocopies just in case. 📱 Be sure to buy a Japanese SIM card or portable WiFi in advance—it's super convenient for navigation. 🔌 Japan uses two-pin flat plugs, so bring an adapter so you won't have to worry about charging your devices. 👕 It's still hot in Japan in September, so bring short sleeves and sun-protective clothing, plus a light jacket in case the indoor AC is too strong. 🎒 Pack a sun hat, sunglasses, and mosquito repellent in your day bag to make visiting shrines and parks more comfortable. 💴 Exchange some Japanese Yen cash. Some small shops and street stalls only accept cash, as Alipay and WeChat Pay aren't accepted everywhere. / 😘 Wishing you a smooth and worry-free group tour in Japan—have a great time!

We absolutely loved Fukuoka, and visiting Fukuoka Tower was one of the highlights of our trip. The views from the observation deck are fantastic, especially in the evening. We came around sunset and it was beautiful to watch the city and the coastline slowly light up as it got darker. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and we spent quite a while just enjoying the panoramic views and taking photos. Definitely worth visiting if you are in Fukuoka, especially around sunset. A great experience and a wonderful memory from the city!
