Leave Hakata Station at 09:30. AMU is a 6-minute next stop — one stretch inside the station, then leave. Lunch at Canal City. The Asian Art Museum is a 6-minute next stop; see it and go. Rakusuien has no next-stop minute from the museum, so it needs its own stretch. Turn back to Hakata Station at 16:30. Subway tap caps at 640 yen that day. Dazaifu is not this day.

Leave Tenjin at 10:00. The underground is a 6-minute next stop, Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) another 6. Lunch is only Solaria or ACROS (underground to ACROS is 7 minutes). At 17:00, a Dazaifu day means you are already at Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin); otherwise stay in Tenjin. Yatai wait until night.

Use this only as a day trip: leave Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) at 09:00, direct to Nishitetsu Yanagawa, no change at Futsukaichi. From 1 April 2026 the section is 960 yen; the limited express uses that fare. The punt is a 16-minute next stop and about an hour on the water. Lunch is one unagi after the boat (Ohana to the restaurant is 9 minutes). Be back at Nishitetsu Yanagawa before 15:30. Be in Tenjin before the last train; if you cannot, stay in Yanagawa. Do not do Dazaifu and Yanagawa the same day.

At 09:30 change at Meinohama onto the Chikuhi through-train to Chikuzen-Maebaru. Lunch is Maebaru or the farmers’ market (8-minute next stop). Pick only Futamigaura (36-minute bus, sunset stays here) or Keya (another bus, 35 minutes from Futamigaura). The Keya boat runs about April to November; the tourism association lists a 10 April 2026 restart, a December–March closure, and about 25 minutes, and wind cancels it. Oyster huts run about October to the following April, each hut differs, and out of season they are not on the day. Afterward, take the bus back to Maebaru and be at Meinohama before the last train.

At 09:30 take the JR Kagoshima Line from Hakata to Kashii and change to the Kashii Line for Uminonakamichi. The aquarium’s page says about 11 minutes Hakata to Kashii and about 20 minutes on the Kashii Line. Lunch is in the park. Park and aquarium are separate tickets: adults 450 yen and 2,500 yen. Park to aquarium is 8 minutes, to the shore 15; pick two of the three. Turn back at 16:00 and be at Kashii before the last train. Do not add Shikanoshima (29 minutes on from the aquarium) or Nokonoshima the same day.
