Gyeongju and Andong in 4 Days: No Direct Bus, But Now There Is a Direct Train
Old guides still teach a three-hour bus transfer through Dong-daegu to link Gyeongju and Andong.

This guide builds the trip on that train: two nights in Gyeongju and one in Andong, an all-rail triangle in and out of Seoul, the story of how Bulguksa and Daereungwon became free to enter, and the full budget.

Fukuoka 5-Day Itinerary: Where to Spend the Two Days You Have Left Over
The real problem with five days in Fukuoka is not that there is too little to see. It is that the city centre is done in a day and a half.
