Our dream trip to Japan finally began, but not without a few unexpected twists! Join us as we recount our eventful travel day from Seoul, South Korea, to the vibrant city of Fukuoka, Japan. What started with a rainy morning and a last-minute suitcase dilemma quickly escalated into a frantic dash when we realized we were at the wrong airport! Yes, even seasoned travelers like us can make mistakes.

After a nail-biting race against time and a surprisingly smooth immigration process, we finally touched down in Fukuoka. Our first impressions? Incredibly polite people, a unique cash culture, and the discovery of Japan's legendary vending machines, a true highlight!

We settled into our accommodation at the Heiwadai Hotel Arato, ready to explore. Even a simple dinner from 7-Eleven felt like an adventure. This journey is all about experiencing Japan on a budget, and every moment, planned or unplanned, adds to the story.
