JR Hakata City is such a fun place to explore! There are tons of shops in AMU PLAZA, and you can find pretty much anything to eat or buy. The location is super convenient, too. You could easily spend the whole day here and never get bored. Highly recommended!

Cafe Itsutsubashi
Cafe Itsutsubashi is known for its unbeatable location-enjoy a meal while looking out at Kintaikyo Bridge right in front of you. It’s on the second floor of the Kintaikyo Bridge Bus Center along the Nishiki River, making it extremely convenient and a great base for exploring the area. It’s also perfect for relaxing while you wait for your bus after a stroll. The cafe’s most popular items are Iwakuni’s local specialties.
A small, quiet cafe with a vibe that makes time feel like it slows down as soon as you walk in.
The decor is simple and cozy—not overly commercial. It’s a great place to come alone, zone out, or read.
The coffee goes down smooth, and the desserts aren’t overly sweet—more the kind you can enjoy without getting tired of them.
No frills, but overall it’s really comfortable. If you’re looking for somewhere to sit quietly for a bit, this spot is perfect. -
Kumaya Cave
Iheya Island, a remote island about 1 hour by ferry from Okinawa Main Island. On the northern part of the island, halfway up a rocky mountain on the edge of the Tana settlement, you'll find Kumaya Cave opening wide. Formed by the erosion of chert rock, this natural space is vast in scale, measuring Approx. 10 meters high, 40 meters deep, and covering 600 square meters.
The cave has such a mysterious vibe. Walking inside feels like going on an adventure. It’s cool and quiet in there, and it almost feels like stepping through time. A really cool experience!

Tsuruya Shokudo
A long-established restaurant serving Yoshida Udon for around 70 years, now run by the third generation. The restaurant is widely regarded as the originator of horse meat toppings, a now-standard feature of Yoshida Udon.
This udon shop is a local favorite that's been around forever. The noodles are super chewy, and the broth is simple but flavorful. Adding some fried sides makes it even more satisfying. Prices are reasonable and portions are filling—great value for money!
