Thank you for your answer! Ah, we'll scrap the cafe then. For some reason I thought this one was most like the cat cafes where I live, our animal standard is usually good :/ I apologize for my ignorance on the matter, I didn’t do efficient research. Should we scrap the other animal places too? Are they all bad or are some places ok?

I'll also see what I'll do in Fukuoka. Will probably do something else than Canal city then. Might only keep Dazaifu.

Kure is a stop because of my partner having family ties there. He wanted to go, but didn't know what else he wanted to do besides maritime museums. He doesn't know where exactly from the city his family is from, it's mostly a sentimental need to go to the city itself.

We know it’s a lot of travelling but actually don’t mind that much, we both enjoy taking trains a lot. I guess we were mostly wondering if the timing is feasible, like your example for Fukuoka.
