Directions to Korean Embassy in Fukuoka, Japan | |
| Getting to the Korean Embassy in Fukuoka, Japan is relatively easy. The first thing you need to do is
get to a subway line. There are only two.
From the international airport you will need to take a shuttle to the domestic airport. The shuttle bus can be caught directly in front of the international airport, just outside from the information booth. The bus number is 1 and it is free to go to the domestic airport. The ride takes about 10 minutes. Once at the domestic airport, follow the signs to the subway. From the ferry terminal coming soon... Things To Remember:

 | This is the map of the less than intimidating Fukuoka subway system. This was taken at the Tojinmachi stop. The black diamonds all have 2 numbers in them. Those are the subway fares, adult on top and children on bottom. So, for example, it will cost one adult 290¥ to get to the Fukuokakuko (Airport). |
 | So from the airport look at the subway map and check the fare to Tojinmachi. Only after I was editing these photos did I see the tiny "English" button so I'm not sure how that worked. If you'll notice on the large picture there are some "blank" white buttons on the machine. Those actually have fare values on them like 200, 250, 290, etc. Click the appropriate amount and then deposit your money. If you need more than one, hit the button for 2 or 3 people and deposit 2 or 3 times as much money. It's actually very simple and it takes many denominations of ¥en. It's also a great place to get rid of all your change before you leave for the airport. |
 | This is the stop you are looking for. All stops have some sort of avatar. Tojinmachi's avatar is a piece of pottery. |
 | After you get off the subway look for exit number 1. Follow the signs. Very easy. |
 | At the top of the stairs of exit 1 this will be your view. Exciting! Don't turn. Don't run across the street. Don't close your eyes and spin in circles. Just go straight. Walk straight down this street for about 10 minutes until... |
 | You come to this intersection. It's the first major intersection on your stroll to the embassy. Cross the street using the crosswalk in the photo and then turn right. After you turn right, go straight down that road for a few more minutes until... |
 | You see this Shell gas station. On the other side of the street you can see the Korean Embassy. |
 | Another view from across the street. If you can't get to the embassy from here you have bigger problems than I can help you with.
Wonder Park is across the street from the embassy and you can find a McDonald's, Starbucks, The Gap, Nike store, a good Indian restaurant and some
reasonably priced Japanese restaurants. Just so you know, I circled the embassy in Photoshop so don't go looking for a giant Hula Hoop. As cool as that would be, it doesn't exist. Sorry. |
 | Here's one more for those who just can't get enough. And another tip: if you really like my shots of the embassy you can save the large versions and use it as your desktop picture. Or print them off and trade with your friends. Get the whole collection. Don't forget to find Waldo in each photo ;) |
