Starbucks Stamp Guy ☕ Saga Prefecture Starbucks Annual Summary (2025) — The "Looks faster than Fukuoka. Complete all stores in the prefecture" theory —
Aggregation reference date: January 5, 2026
• Starbucks in Saga Prefecture: 12 stores
• Visited: 4 stores (33%)
• Not yet visited: 8 stores (67%)
■ Surprising facts told by the numbers
By the way,Fukuoka Prefecture.
• Not yet visited: 20 stores (21%)
Saga Prefecture, not yet visited: 8 stores.
……Yes.
The number of unvisited stores in Fukuoka Prefecture is actually
greater than the total number of stores in Saga Prefecture.
I doubted my calculation for a moment, but
the calculator wasn't broken.
🗺 Overview of unvisited areas
8 unvisited stores are divided into
3 blocks
surprisingly neatly.
1. Around Saga City: 5 stores
2. Within Takeo City: 2 stores
3. Within Karatsu City: 1 store
◽️Basic Policy
•The right approach for Saga is "batch hunting"
•Don't move just for one store
•Draw a circle based on expressways or main roads
■ Priorities
1. Batch collection in Saga City
2. Takeo (with hot springs)
3. Karatsu (single-item collection)
■ The sense of distance is now the same
In terms of perceived distance,
• Kitakyushu area
• Saga area
Honestly, it doesn't change much.
Both are
within a range you can reach if you put in a little effort.
🅰️ Saga City batch collection route (★Highest priority)
Target: 4-5 stores around Saga City
Time required: Half a day to 1 day
▷ Route example
1. Kinryu Service Area store (entrance)
2. Saga City roadside type
3. Around Saga Station or mall type
4. One more store in the city (with effort)
✔ Short distance between stores
✔ Few parking problems
✔ Gives a sense of "I finished Saga today"
👉 Boost your morale here first for the Saga conquest
🅱️ Takeo Onsen side-trip route (Reward type)
Target: 2 stores in Takeo City
Time required: Half a day
▷ Route example
• Saga City → Takeo
• Starbucks → Another Starbucks
• Hot springs or library or do nothing
✔ Distance is there but less stress
✔ Looks like "I went sightseeing while at Starbucks"
✔ Day trip or overnight stay is possible
👉 The "not forcing it" feeling is important
🅲 Karatsu pinpoint collection route (Single item)
Target: 1 store in Karatsu City
Time required: Half a day
▷ Route example
• Takeo → Karatsu
• Starbucks → Look at the sea → Go home
✔ Only one store but high satisfaction
✔ Can take photos
✔ Easy to turn into note material
👉 Karatsu is about "story" rather than "number"
■ The flow line is already visible
• Kinryu Service Area → Saga City
• Or Starbucks in Takeo → Karatsu
About an hour on local roads.
From Karatsu to Fukuoka City, it is
almost a straight shot.
There are few elements to get lost (the only thing getting lost is your motivation).
About an hour, so close!
■ Saga City is easy for a day trip
The 4 stores in Saga City can
1 dayif you have it, you can easily visit them all.
Takeo and Karatsu on a separate day.
Now, Fukuoka Prefecture Starbucks and Saga Prefecture Starbucks
which one can be completed faster can you do?
The problem isnot the schedule. The problem is only
"whether you feel like going today".
🧭 Combo Move (The usual guy's reckless theory)
Saga City → Takeo → Karatsu → Fukuoka
• Morning: Kinryu SA
• Noon: 2 stores in Saga City
• Afternoon: 2 stores in Takeo
• Evening: 1 store in Karatsu
• Night: Return to Fukuoka
⚠️ Don't overdo it
✔ However, "it's okay to do it once in a lifetime"
■ Final Conclusion (from the guy's perspective)
Saga is a "prefecture that progresses if you go."
There aren't as many as in Fukuoka.You don't need to prepare as much as for Kitakyushu.
That is precisely why—
knock them out all at once in 1 or 2 targeted days.
