This blogpost covers the day of February 13th, while in Fukuoka, Japan. Transit to Himeji, and Kure, Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woke up fairly early. Packed everything, returned my hotel keycard, and walked my way towards Hakata Station. Yes, I walked because it was quicker than taking anything else. No hassles with buses or trains. I enjoyed my short, if somewhat lengthy walk trip to Hakata Station. A nice view, perspective, fresh air, and even admiring the architecture in the area, all to make my way to Hakata Station to catch a bullet train to visit Himeji. I obtained my tickets and stamp, acquired food, and was happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My plan for the day was to travel from Fukuoka to Himeji, and then to Kure in a straight line. Little did I realize, also from various forms of fatigue, Himeji is after Kure, not prior. I was thinking of another desired castle I strongly desired to visit, one I had seen from the train window back in 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happily, and safely, arrived at Himeji Station after 20 minutes of walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my walk toward Hakata Station I was also given time to process my previous days in Fukuoka, even how I missed out on an allegedly gimmicky perspective of ‘Canal City Hakata’ for it’s waterfalls and other types of beauties. It is what it is, and I’ll have to see if I can visit it sometimes in the future, whenever that shall be. There are a few places I had desired to visit, now noted for future reference.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
