Fukuoka Municipal Zoo and Botanical Garden
Walk the quiet paths of the Fukuoka Municipal Zoo and Botanical Garden. The morning light is soft on the 1,300 types of outdoor plants, and the greenhouse is still fresh with humidity.

Head to the café in the Garden City facility building for a coffee and a pastry. It is open early and offers a calm place to sit before the midday rush.
