FUKUOKA WITH KIDS

How to get to Fukuoka with kids?
You can fly or you can take a shinkansen (bullet train) – from Tokyo, a bullet train takes about 5 hours.

Snacks for the bullet train – purchased at Hakata Station in Fukuoka at a deli calledNo no Budou Sai Sai Deli. It’s inside the station just before you go up the escalators to the shinkansen tracks.
Food pictured here:
Homemade Tuna Salad & Egg Sandwich, Inari Sushi, Strawberry Milk, Toppo (pretzel sticks with chocolate inside）Pucho cola flavoured candy, Crunchy Root Veg Salad, Fresh Veggie Salad.
See my tips on taking a shinkansen with kids here.
