π Japan Adventure Day 10: Canal City Hakata — Trains, Tech Toilets & Travel Surprises in Fukuoka!
Trains, Tech Toilets & Travel Surprises in Fukuoka!
π Riding the Rails: Japan’s Train Magic
We caught the last train out (phew!), and I cannot stress this enough — thank goodness for my portable fan from Don Quijote! If you’ve ever been to Japan, you know Don Quijote is the place for random-but-awesome travel finds.
Fun fact: Japan’s trains are so punctual that the average delay is less than one minute! And if one is late, they actually hand out “apology slips” for you to give your boss or teacher. Only in Japan, right? β€οΈ
As we rolled back toward the city, the view outside was gorgeous — a perfect mix of suns, quiet countryside, and urban sparkle. By the time we arrived, the train was completely packed, so being one of the first stops was a total win.
ποΈ Arriving at Canal City Hakata
When we emerged from underground, we found ourselves at Canal City Hakata, one of Fukuoka’s most famous shopping and entertainment complexes — and wow, this place is next-level.
Imagine bridges connecting multiple buildings, walkways floating over water, and even fountain shows synchronized to music. It’s basically a city within a city.
And our first stop? You guessed it — the bathrooms.
π½ The Smartest Toilet You’ll Ever Meet
I’m not exaggerating when I say this — the toilet was smarter than my phone.
It automatically closed the lid, flushed hands-free, and even played ambient sounds to give you a little… privacy soundtrack. πΆ
Japan takes restroom innovation very seriously. In fact, Japan’s high-tech toilets are world-famous for features like heated seats, bidet functions, deodorizing sprays, and even seat warmers with adjustable temperatures. (Once you try one, there’s no going back! That's why we have two in our house now!)
π Hungry for More?
After all that exploring, we were absolutely starving. But you’ll have to come back tomorrow to see where we finally ate — trust me, it’s worth the wait.
From Nanzoin Temple’s peaceful beauty to Fukuoka’s futuristic shopping hubs, this day was a perfect example of why I love Japan: it’s a country where ancient tradition and modern innovation live side by side — and somehow, it always works perfectly.
πΈ Final Thoughts
Even when plans go sideways in Japan, it somehow becomes part of the adventure. Whether it’s catching the last train, discovering the Canal City Hakata, or getting excited over a toilet that greets you like an old friend, every moment here feels special.
If you’re planning a Fukuoka travel itinerary, make sure to add Canal City Hakata to your list — it’s a must-see stop for shopping, dining, and soaking in Japan’s vibrant urban energy.
