I would like to spend 2-3 weeks in Japan preferably Fukuoka. My birthday is coming up……I would love to treat myself since I have always wanted to visit Japan. Although, I have never been to Japan before but something about big cities has never been something that I enjoy. Lol. I feel lost as if I am in a complicated maze. So Tokyo is out of my list.

Are there mid size cities you can recommend?
-
Has anyone been to Fukuoka?

Any other helpful tips is quite appreciated
If you don’t like big crowded cities I’d recommend Hiroshima and Fukuoka. Lived in both and they are great!
If you want to do a bit more tourism, Hiroshima might be better. But if you want to go out and have great food, I’d recommend Fukuoka.
Why not do both though? You can get a Shinkansen for less than 100$ and it takes a bit more than one hour.
