I asked to the staff for the student discount and showed my residency card. The miss still didn't believe me, and I had to pay the full fee, which seems expensive.

I recommend going to the Fukuoka City Museum, it's better in price an...

There are some absolute gems of statues, vases, scrolls and painti...

Beautiful museum! Was recommended to me by a lady in tourist information and I have to say I really enjoyed it. I paid extra for the special exhibition and it was worth it. Everything was written in japanese and english , easy to understand and all the staff were really helpful. They even offer free guided tour. I will definitely visit again. Don't forget the stamp!
