Kyushu Natural Animal Park. The grounds are really huge. In the cute animal area, you can hold and feed small animals, and the main attraction is riding the park's Jungle Bus (reservations aren't available, so you have to line up in person) to feed herbivores and carnivores. Not only kids but adults also find it a lot of fun. If you're visiting Beppu, I recommend adding this attraction to your itinerary. It's really quite different from zoos back home. Highly recommended〜

Usa Jingu Shrine
More than 40,000 Hachiman shrines throughout Japan, which are called "Hachiman-sama" and worshiped in various places, are the largest number among Shinto shrines. The main shrine is Usa Jingu, built in the 2nd year of the Jinki era (725). It is the second-largest shrine in Japan after Ise Jingu Shrine and is revered by the imperial family.
I visited Usa Jingu Shrine twice. The grounds are really quite large, and you can also look for heart-shaped patterns on the stone slabs. After walking for a while, I reached the main shrine. The vermilion buildings are really beautiful after the renovation. If you get the chance, come take a stroll. You can also buy limited-edition amulets.

Fukuoka Airport
Fukuoka Airport is located in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, and is known for its exceptional access to the city center-just about 5 minutes by subway to Hakata Station and around 11 minutes to Tenjin. Its convenience makes it a major gateway for both tourism and business travel.
After the renovation, Fukuoka Airport has become quite nice, with many more restaurants, shops, and souvenir stores. Travelers can enjoy food and browse around while waiting for their flights.

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 hotel is located in the bustling Tenjin area, so you can return to the hotel to rest when you're tired from shopping. The room was more spacious than I expected and very comfortable. There were also many breakfast options, including distinctive Japanese dishes, which were really great. This really is my first choice for a hotel when visiting central Fukuoka.
