GETTING TO THE KOREAN CONSULATE
1) From the Airport
Get on the subway ¡æ take it to the brown vase stop- Tojin Machi (9th stop from the airport) it's right after Ohori Koen ( a park ).
From Tojin Machi, leave by the first exit (1) it says Korean Consulate on it. Walk towards the traffic light after walking straight out of the exit. There turn right and go straight for about 10 minutes. You'll have to cross over to the other side of the street. The consulate has a Korean style roof and a Korean Flag. The area is really close to the Fukuoka Dome.> If you are not sure most of the buildings in the area have maps.
2) From the Ferry
Take a bus to Tenjin ( the 80 on the 84) but it should say Tenjin. then change buses, and take a bus to the Fukuoka dome.
If you though don't want to take a plane there is always the ferry from Pusan to Fukuoka. The ferry takes 14 hours and most of that is just time sitting waiting for the port to open in the morning. It leaves AT 6pm every second day. and arrives at 8AM. The return trip is the same. Many people get drunk on this boat and I hear there is also gambling available when you are in international waters. The last time I checked the cost was 65,000 Won. Sometimes the departure time changes so be sure to ask. The Hydrofoil takes about 3 hours and costs $85,000 Won it leaves at 12:15 from Pusan everyday and arrives at about 3. Make sure to get the return ticket in Pusan as the tickets in Fukuoka are much more expensive.
