Good morning! Today is going to be my last chance to travel sightseeing Fukuoka because i will be leaving Japan tomorrow.
I'm
going to explore Fukuoka city again, i stop at Ohori-Koen station to
see the Ohori park. Ohori park is known as one of the most beautiful
water parks in Japan. People loves to come here to relax and jogging.
During summer, fireworks festivals are usually held in here.

After walked around Ohori park, i continue my trip with subway towards Tenjin, which is 2 stops away. Tenjin feels a bit like Tokyo where you can find young people wear colorful and fashionable clothes. It's Fukuoka's largest shopping district so if you are a shopping die hard fan, this place will give you the golden ticket. They even got underground shopping arcade where all major shops and department stores connected.

| Surprised to find Solaria here in Japan, we also have in Indonesia |

The next place that i wanted to see are Tochoji Shrine and Hakata Traditional Craft Center. It's not that difficult to find Tochoji Shrine since it's is located just behind exit of Gion station. There you can find 11 meter size of Buddha statue, but unfortunately photographs were prohibited.

After visited Tochoji, i walked around 15 minutes form there to get to Kushida shrine. Just beside it, there is Hakata Traditional Craft Center where you can see the famous iconic doll from Fukuoka.

| Don't know why but the store layout reminds me of Mustafa Centre haha |
After wandered around Tenjin and Hakata, i came across to a place for gadget lovers in Japan called Yodobashi. On the 4th floor while walking around the area, i accidentally found a restaurant called Uobei 'Genki Sushi.' Unlike regular conveyor belt sushi, Uoebi provide touch screen
menus (English option available) where you can place orders
directly from the kitchen. Moments later, a sign will highlighted and a mini
Shinkansen bullet trains plastic trays will bring your sushi and stops right in front of you. Sushi is quite popular in Indonesia as well, the main difference with Japan is we don't put
wasabi inside the sushi. With only 105 yen for each item, i can only wish we can one of this kind of sushi restaurant someday!
 |
| 105 for any item! |

| It's hard to stop ordering food here |
