点评:Straightforward layout:
After having been to the labyrinth of Tokyo and Osaka JR stations, we felt much more relaxed to know that Fukuoka's Hakata JR Station has a pretty straightforward layout. Pretty much a rectangular layout, and most people only get lost because they wander off to one the malls (e.g. AMU Plaza, AMU Est, KITTE, etc) connected to the station. By the way, each mall's different in terms of retail mix so do your research!
We liked the stores/supermarkets:
1) plenty of ekibento stores, convenient marts and cafes e.g. Cinnabon + Mister Donuts are literally right there at the tap in/ tap out areas so you could grab coffees or those famous train-bentos before you catch your next train!
2) the relatively large Hakata supermarket's so close to the station that we could grab necessities or famous local snacks at good, supermarket prices just before we take our train to our next destination/prefecture!
TWO JR offices:
JR WEST office (close to the main entrance) where we collected our JR pass, was a different office from JR KYUSHU office where we collected the Yufuin No Mori (sightseeing train to Yufuin). They're right next to each other.
CUTE name and mailbox:
1) Learnt that even though this is the main JR train station of Fukuoka, it is not called, "JR Fukuoka Station" but it is called, "JR Hakata Station" instead because Hakata's the old name of Fukuoka! To be precise, there were two areas and Hakata was subsumed into Fukuoka. But to please the citizens who still loved their Hakatan roots, they named the station Hakata Station.
2) The one and only heart-shaped mailbox in the whole city (or even Japan) to have cupid and also a shorter slot just for little kids to post their mail. At the square outside the train station/ Amu Plaza entrances.
翻译:布局简单:
在去过东京和大阪 JR 车站的迷宫之后,得知福冈博多 JR 车站的布局非常简单,我们感到轻松多了。基本是矩形布局,大多数人迷路只是因为他们会漫步到与车站相连的购物中心(例如 AMU Plaza、AMU Est、KITTE 等)。顺便说一句,每个购物中心的零售组合都不同,所以请做好研究!
我们喜欢商店/超市:
1)许多车站便当店、便利店和咖啡馆,例如 Cinnabon + Mister Donuts 就在进出区域,所以您可以在赶上下一班火车之前买咖啡或那些著名的火车便当!
2)相对较大的博多超市离车站很近,我们可以在乘火车前往下一个目的地/县之前以超市的优惠价格购买必需品或著名的当地小吃!
两个 JR 办公室:
我们领取 JR 通票的 JR WEST 办公室(靠近主入口)与我们领取由布院之森(前往由布院的观光列车)的 JR KYUSHU 办公室不同。它们彼此相邻。
可爱的名字和邮箱:
1) 了解到,尽管这是福冈的主要 JR 火车站,但它并不被称为“JR 福冈站”,而是被称为“JR 博多站”,因为博多是福冈的旧称!确切地说,有两个地区,博多被纳入福冈。但为了让仍然热爱博丹根源的市民高兴,他们将该站命名为博多站。
2) 整个城市(甚至日本)唯一一个有丘比特的心形邮箱,还有一个较短的时间段,供小孩子寄送邮件。在火车站/ Amu Plaza 入口外的广场上。
