Starbucks Stamp Uncle: Hakata Station Starbucks Exploration Log ① - Intro (Lost x RPG Hybrid Edition)

This is Hakata Station, the grand terminal of Kyushu.
It is a giant labyrinth where tourists, business travelers, and even locals stop and wonder, "Which way is the exit?"

Lurking in this labyrinth are—a swarm of Starbucks..

The "Chikushi Exit" eastern gateway, the "Hakata Exit" western gateway, and the "Station-Inside Zone" centered around the station building. Starbucks are scattered across these three major areas,
toying with adventurers (= Starbucks Uncle). ・

Thinking, "The Starbucks at the Chikushi Exit is right there!", only to warp to the Hakata Exit on the opposite side. ・
Thinking, "I've arrived at the oasis inside the station!", only to find it's actually on a different floor of the building.... ・
Swept away by the crowd, and before you know it, the target store drifts away like a phantom. This is basically

a bit of an RPG stamp rally.
Every time I walk through Hakata Station, I even get to experience the feeling of my own poor sense of direction holding the party back.

In this note, I will explore this labyrinth in three chapters: "Chikushi Exit Edition," "Hakata Exit Edition," and "Station-Inside Edition", and present it as a four-part adventure story, including a summary at the end.

Next time, you will surely get lost at Hakata Station too.—But the cup you finally reach is, strangely enough, exceptional.
