A day trip to the charming small city of Hita near Fukuoka 🚌 + sharing of expenses 💸

Hita, also known as Mini Kyoto, is a quiet and peaceful rural town near Fukuoka. I visited in early January, which is the peak season for Japanese travel, but it was not crowded and quiet, so it was an even more healing travel destination.🕊️ Since Hita has many picturesque alleys, I highly recommend renting a bicycle and exploring the town. I will tell you everything from where to rent a bicycle to a perfect Hita day trip itinerary!🫶🏻 --------------------------- ⏰ Travel Schedule 09:00 Nishitetsu Tenjin Express Bus Terminal (Buy Tickets) 09:17 Departure of Hita-bound Bus 11:00 Arrive at Hita, go to the tourist information center to rent a bicycle 11:30 Ride a bicycle across Mamedamachi (At this time, wait for Hitamabushi Senya and explore the town!) 12:30 Hitamabushi Senya Lunch (Eel rice bowl, highly recommended!) 13:30 Go to a cafe (recommended Alaska or cafebiyori) 15:00 Return the bike and take a bus or taxi from the terminal to Sapporo Beer Factory (bus departs at 15:05, fare 100 yen) 15:30 Sapporo Beer Kyushu Hita Factory (free admission, tasting fee) 16:30 Yumesansui Onsen (family bath, so you can use it with friends, lovers, and family) 17:30 Return to Hita Terminal by 100 yen bus or taxi (if you want a taxi, ask the staff to call you) 18:10 Take a bus to Hita - Tenjin, Hakata (1 hour and a half) 💸 Cost - 2-person round-trip bus ticket: 6,320 yen (3,160 yen per person) - Bicycle rental: 700 yen per person for 3-hour rental (300 yen for the first hour, 200 yen for each additional hour) - Hitamabushi Senya: Eel rice bowl (regular) 3,500 yen - Cafe (cafebiyori): 850 yen - 1,500 yen (parfait, very diverse!) - Sapporo Beer Factory: 400 yen per glass of beer, 200 yen for snacks - Yumesansui Onsen: Family bath 2,200 yen, open-air bath 800 yen (If you're going with just men, I recommend the open-air bath!
