The way the sunlight filters through the branches and mist is absolutely beautiful! It was also super cool and refreshing even on a hot summer day. The coolest part is that you can walk behind the waterfall. This place is basically photogenic from every angle... no matter where we went, every shot turned out great.
Just be careful because it can get slippery. There are wooden walking sticks available at the entrance to the trail, and using one on the way down to the waterfall feels a lot safer.

Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Amakusa Hotel Kameya
A hotel in Amakusa operated by Ooedo Onsen Monogatari, which runs affordable hot spring resorts across Japan. Guests can experience the appeal of Amakusa through open-air baths with excellent views, seafood dining, and more. The hotel’s highlight is its spacious open-air bath fed by its own hot spring source. The scenery spread out before you-Amakusa’s sea, winding bays, and Amakusa Fuji-is truly spectacular.
As soon as you walk into the lobby, you’ll see the yukata shelves〜
Instead of putting them in your room, you can choose your own size and favorite pattern in the lobby. I really like this arrangement.
The room was spacious and comfortable, and soaking in the large public bath felt so relaxing! I experienced a public bath in the nude for the first time in my life.
I got over my awkwardness here XD Now I can fully enjoy Japanese hot springs in the future〜 -

Nishitetsu Grand Hotel
Nishitetsu Grand Hotel has been representing Fukuoka City since its foundation in 1969. It is located on the corner of Meiji dori and Tenjin Nishi dori, very close to the Tenjin subway station. A door man welcomes guests at the entrance and the hotel has a sophisticated and dignified atmosphere.
The location is incredibly convenient! After dropping off our luggage, we could head straight out to shop in the Tenjin area. Almost everything we wanted was within walking distance, including clothes, glasses, and cosmetics.
The room wasn’t very large since the hotel is downtown, but it was comfortable enough for a good night’s rest. The breakfast buffet had a fantastic selection, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offered beautiful views of the lush garden, making breakfast even more relaxing and enjoyable. -

Mameda Town
Hita City, neighboring Fukuoka and Kumamoto, was a prosperous “Tenryo (directly ruled by the Shogunate)” merchant town in Edo Period. The city is still dotted by classic buildings and earthen walls, which earned the nickname “Little Kyoto in Kyushu.” Roughly a 15-minute walk from Hita train station will take you to Mameda Town, where houses of merchants still remain who were providing goods to the Shogunate during the Tenryo Era.
The streets and buildings are gorgeous! The charming old-fashioned atmosphere also has a cute touch ❤️ Walking around here is so peaceful and relaxing. Whether you’re by a wall, next to a vintage window frame, or just standing along the street, it’s easy to take beautiful, atmospheric photos. It’s truly a lovely place.
There are also some Attack on Titan collaborations here. I love the anime, so spotting Captain Levi around town and inside the shops was such a fun surprise〜 -
