A first-person travel vlog by Luis Lan documenting a short trip in Japan (Osaka → Fukuoka). The narrator covers travel logistics (flights, trains, hotel), local interactions (helpful station staff), food (ramen), and a visit to Nanzoin Temple to see the Reclining (Laying) Buddha.
Waking up super early today. Booking our flight back home from Japan. Having to fly over to Fukuoka today from Osaka. Let's get the day started. And that's how you book two business paths to tickets on Ama Back to America from Tokyo. Let's go. Get this honeymoon started. We made it to the airport. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
You have a good one. Ah, we're good. The airport. I forgot his name. What was his name? I don't remember. I forgot his name. His name was Shingo. Shingo, I think. Here it's Ana. So. Flew into Osaka last night. Having to fly out to Fukuoka today. Our original plan was to fly from Hawaii to Fukuoka, but that flight got canceled. So how to rebook some stuff. Have some stuff planned for today and for tomorrow. So let's get going. Made it off the plane. Now to go to the hotel and.
Get some more money. Change your money.
Yeah. That.
We need to take the Kuko line to the Gion Station.
Oh.
How do we. We don't have tickets. We need to buy tickets. Yeah. We need all their information will be displayed in English. A cuckoo line.
Yeah. Gion 2 Gion Station. Yes. Yes.

Oh, two people. Oh, yeah. Time to start sticking coins in there.
Hurry.
We gotta go fast.
A big one. Sure.
Oh, you can put up to a $10,000 one in there.

It freaking feels like a. Like a slot machine. Oh, it gave us two tickets.

We did it.
Okay. That was really good.
We're getting better at this.
That was really good.
Yeah, we need them. You need your tickets. Wait, wait. I need one ticket.
Okay. You did it.
I don't know where we're going now though. So I cannot over emphasize how helpful people in Japan are. In multiple occasions, we had no idea what was going on or where we were. But just walking over to those attacks attendance, they stopped what they were doing and they helped us out. So shout out to Japanese culture for being coming in so clutch and y' all being so helpful. They essentially let us know where we needed to go and sometimes even walked us there. So if you've ever wanted to go to Japan and scared that you're gonna get lost, definitely as the train guys or girls, they are gonna help shout out to Japan. Y' all are wonderful.
We just have to look really lost.
Hell, I look lost the whole time.
Lost.
I look lost the whole time. If they help us. After landing in Fukuoka, we head to over to the Grand Hyatt, dropped off our bags and went on a hunt to find some ramen. Very good. This place right here. After having a belly full of ramen, we headed over to Nansoin Temple to go see the Laying Buddha.
Okay.
Wow, look at that.
Nice.
Oh, we gotta go over there. That's. That's the thing up there, the head. That's where we're going.
It's Sam.
The Reclining Buddha. You have to go through this tunnel right here to get to him. This way.
Sam.
That's the train station. And then you go up that road and then go that stop light and then you go that way.
It.
We just finished, we're here right now, and we have to get back to Hakata station. And that's 380. So you press 380 and then it should give you a ticket. So right here we got to go back to Hakata Station. Make sure you have Google Maps or Internet on your phone, otherwise you're screwed. Akata station. 380. They go by these numbers.
