Travel
Our wedding is on May 25, 2026, at the Alba Hotel in Itoshima, Fukuoka, Japan.
Flight Information:
We recommend arriving 1–2 days early (May 23–24).
There are no direct U.S. flights to Fukuoka. We suggest flying into Tokyo Haneda (HND). Upon arriving in Tokyo, you will have two options to get to Fukuoka: 1) From Haneda, fly to Fukuoka (FUK) — about 1 hr 45 min, or 2) Take the bullet train (Shinkansen) from Tokyo to Hakata (≈5 hrs), then taxi/train to the hotel.
For flight help/suggestions, please contact Bryan Kowalski at 801-330-0974.
For guidance on navigating the country, please iMessage Takami Kowalski (+81 80 40968899) and/or Mariko Kowalski (+81 80 92969650).
Near the hotel:
Moon Moon Moon Café – Taiwanese cafe, 5-min walk
Gyosyou – sushi, 10-min walk
Sun Flower – lunch/dinner spot, 11-min walk
Sushi Kuu – upscale sushi, 14-min bike
Bring cash (yen) and convert at the airport when you land - larger places take cards, but small local shops/eateries are often cash-only.
