Top Nature Spots in Fukuoka

I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks. The in-house cafes are pricey, and I found it hard to justify the costs when I could just picnic outside!

Timing is everything! I recommend going early around 9 AM when the aquarium opens. It was way less crowded, and I got to enjoy the exhibits without bumping shoulders with other visitors.

If you're a photography buff go for the big tank around 4 PM. The lighting gets amazing then and the colors pop like crazy. I wished I had known that beforehand!

My advice is to check out the Kuroshio Sea tank first! It's the biggest and by far the coolest - save the smaller exhibits for later when you're winding down. It was a great starting point.
