📌 Save this for your next trip to Fukuoka!
⁣
🍵 The side of Fukuoka most tourists never see⁣
⁣
Few travellers realise that Fukuoka is home to centuries-old maiko and tea traditions.⁣
⁣
Hakata, the historic heart of Fukuoka, was once one of Japan’s most important trading ports. ⁣
⁣
Its prosperity helped traditional arts, music and tea culture flourish, creating a cultural heritage that can still be experienced today.⁣
⁣
I recently joined a time-honoured tea ceremony at @hakata.geidokoro.wanoka where a maiko guided us through the rituals and etiquette of Japanese tea culture. ⁣
⁣
The matcha served here comes from Yame, one of Japan’s most renowned tea-producing regions, famous for its rich umami flavour and exceptional quality. ⁣
⁣
But this experience goes far beyond tea.⁣
⁣
The cultural immersion includes a delicious Japanese lunch, elegant maiko dance performances, captivating live shamisen music and the opportunity to step inside the heart of Japanese culture.⁣
⁣
If you’re looking for unique things to do in Fukuoka, add this to your itinerary!
⁣
🇯🇵 Would you try a tea ceremony led by a maiko?⁣
⁣
📍 Hakata Geidokoro Wanoka (博多芸どころ わのか)⁣
4-220 Kamikawabata-machi, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka-ken, Japan⁣
⁣
🇯🇵 Kyushu continues to welcome visitors, with Fukuoka, Kumamoto and other parts of the region operating as usual despite the recent Kumamoto earthquake.⁣

📌 Save this! I found the best hotel breakfast in B 📌 Save this! I found the best hotel breakfast in Bali 🌞  
 
Roomah at Holiday Inn Resort Bali Canggu serves mornings that feel more like a feast than a buffet. @roomahcanggu is the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant. Its name comes from the Indonesian word rumah, meaning home and the kitchen takes that seriously! 
 
The breakfast buffet included unlimited à la carte hot dishes.  
 
I ate so well that I skipped lunch because there was simply no room left.  
 
I have eaten at well regarded cafes in Canggu and Roomah holds its own against all of them. 
 
For first time visitors to Bali, this breakfast sets a high standard for the rest of your trip. 
 
Foodie Highlights  
🥐 All-you-can-eat buffet with fresh pastries, fruits and cheese 
🔥Unlimited à la carte hot dishes cooked to order  
🥢Local favourites like nasi goreng, mee goreng and dim sum
🥖 Western plates with sourdough, avocado and eggs any style  
☕ Free flow juices and coffee  
🌱 Diverse options for gluten free and vegetarian diets

From sunsets reflected across the rooftop pool 🌅 to the rhythm of Batu Bolong Beach just minutes away, the resort captured everything I imagined Canggu to be.⁣
⁣
The atmosphere is lively, the location unbeatable and the views unforgettable.⁣
⁣
@holidayinnbalicanggu delivers the perfect mix of comfort and convenience.⁣
⁣
Just a 4 minute walk to Batu Bolong Beach, this IHG resort places you right in the heart of Canggu’s surf, cafés and nightlife. 🏄‍♂️☕🌴⁣
⁣
⭐️ Highlights I loved ⭐️⁣
🌊 Rooftop Infinity Pool: Panoramic sunset views, the ultimate chill spot⁣

✈️ Returning after 12 years: Where in Japan 🇯🇵?⁣⁣  ✈️ Returning after 12 years: Where in Japan 🇯🇵?⁣⁣ 
⁣⁣ 
I’m finally heading back to this region in Japan! I couldn’t be more excited. ⁣⁣ 
⁣⁣ 
My first visit was in the summer of 2014 when I explored three prefectures and promised myself I’d return. ⁣⁣ 
⁣⁣ 
It took me a long time to make my way back but the wait has made this trip feel even more special. ⁣⁣ 
⁣⁣ 
This time, I will complete the full four-prefecture circuit!⁣⁣ 
⁣⁣ 
It remains one of Japan’s most unexplored and quietly magical areas. The kind of place that stays with you long after you leave.⁣⁣ 
⁣⁣ 
Any guesses where this might be?⁣⁣ 
⁣⁣ 
⭐️ Let’s see if you can name this region and the prefectures! The Japan most travellers never reach.!
