That is how big the room is, or at least the room I had. Reminder that Japan only uses the two prong outlets. If your machines/chargers are three prongs, remember to get an adapter. 

Yatai!

Fukuoka is really popular for their Yatai stands. Got to try it out if you are there. Be part of the experience. The pricing is not bad too.

Lots of these in Japan though this one requires and uphill walk.

Canal City

Popular shopping mall. If you need to stop by one, it be this one.

Fukuoka Tower

Return to Canal City and more Yatai!

Kirby Cafe requires reservations. If you want to try it, you must book it in advance. Food was ok. Its gimmicky to me. 

Nanzoin and Daizafu Tenmangu Shrine.

Going to these places can be far and they are not direct to each other. For example, you need to catch a train from Hakata to Nanzoin which can be about half an hr to 40 mins approx. Then you need to catch a train back to Hakata and then jump on a bus or take multiple trains to get to Daizafu. This will probably take another 60-90 mins or so. It's worth it only if you are into these sightseeing things. The last image here is a Starbucks which is popular due to it's numerous wood sticks weaving outwards. Both areas are popular tourist attractions. 

See you in the next blog. It will also be the 100th post of this blog!

Hawaii Foodiecon 2025 and Yakiniku Like.

  Yakiniku Like Foodiecon was a enjoyable experience. Quite a bit of food vendors. It can be fairly expensive depending on the stuff you buy. Got to try Yakiniku Like over here in HNL. Brings me back to Sapporo which was actually only two months ago. Once again, good if you want a quick meal but if you hoping to be fulfilled, you may want to check into a Yakiniku buffet instead. 

Sapporo, Japan Feb 2025 (Pic Heavy)

  Early February trip to Japan. Feb 2 (Hawaii time) Flight from HNL to New Chitose  Food from ANA airlines. Was not a direct flight. One layover. Then a one hr train ride to Sapporo from New Chitose Airport. Landed around 1030PM at night.  (Each day categories pics start from bottom to top, sorry didn't feel like fixing this).  Feb 3 ( Sapporo) (Will be Japan dates from this moment forward) The famous Nikka sign and pretty much a midnight snack before bed. According to google, the restaurant is called Asahi Ga Nobori Susukino and its right across the Nikka sign and has a animatronic ramen display. It's a good restaurant that features a staple of Sapporo: Miso. One of the few places that is open to a much later time. I think 3AM?  Feb 4  Nijo Market  Yup. Hawaii. Nijo Market. Brunch pretty much at Ohiso . Gets packed quick so find a spot to catch your grub quickly. Lots of similar restaurants around here like Ohiso but like I sai...

Another day in Hawaii-Nei 8/11/20 Murals in Oahu.

Well, since hikes and most of the beach (non-swimming) are out of the question. I tried to go the non-Kaka'ako areas to take pics of murals though I ended up going to Kaka'ako for a little bit to scope out my next mural adventure. Without haste, lets get started. Before I start, copyright and credit are given to the respective owners of the murals/paintings. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your pieces of art. I'll also do my best to address the locations as best as possible for those interested. Mural #1     Location:   939 Ke’eaumoku St, Honolulu, HI 96814.  Its the strip club 939 across Dominoes Pizza . This one caught my eye simply because I drive around this area frequently and I saw it the other day, so I decided to inspect it up closer. *Update Feb 2021* Apparently, the girl's chest in the painting is whited out now if you decide to sojourn into this area. What a way to ruin some art, really. Kinda ironic when it's still a stripclub.  ...
