We visited my family in Fukuoka this weekend.

That’s really beautiful! Shame it’s so far away from Tokyo, how long would it take on the Shinkansen?
It takes about 5.5-6.5 hours from Tokyo to Fukuoka (Hakata Station) but if you visit another area in between and spend a few days there, it’s not too bad of a trip. I used to go from Tokyo to Fukuoka, stopping at Kyoto or Osaka on my way.
Awesome! I thought it was a much longer trip than that. Oh, don’t think I’ve told you this: we’re going back this year! 😀
