Fukuoka travel tips

The best times to visit Japan are late spring and late autumn, when the temperatures are mild and there is little rainfall. As you roam the shops, restaurants, hotels and other areas through both towns you will have to pay in local currency, so make sure you have exchanged some money into Japanese Yen (JYP or ¥). One of Japan’s social etiquettes to keep in mind is that it is not acceptable to tip in restaurants. Make your trip a memorable one from the start by booking your flight to Fukuoka today with ANA.
