Fukuoka, Japan 2023!

Travel dates Nov 1-4, 2023

Hakata City

Fukuoka Mystays Tenjin.

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.

Fukoka Castle Ruins

Ohori Park

Ohori Park is really a nice walk. I recommend it.

Atago Shrine

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

Worth the views and especially the sunset!

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!

Today in Oahu, Hawaii 6/30/20: Laie Point Sea Arch, Sunset Beach, Sharks Cove, Laniakea Beach, and Haleiwa Alii Beach.

La'ie Point (La'ie Point State wayside Park) Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Tamron Lens shot 70-300mm Ditto on the Tamron Also known as "Lizard Rock." There is a story behind this but I won't divulge into it. You can look this up online. I finally got a chance to check this place out. A very nice scenery with a small parking lot. Also folks, try to park in a fashion where others can park and enjoy the view as well. There was a car that literally, in a sense, double parked (took up lots of space) forcing me to nearly park near an edge. Please be courteous to others. We want to enjoy the view and grab memories as well. Sunset Beach A shot under the tree A shot under the tree: the opposite direction As you enter the beach, to your right is the famous 100 year old tree that everybody sits and takes a pic with despite a sign telling you to not sit on it. Yeah,...

Fairbanks, Alaska 3/6-3/9

Here was the ender to my trip before my return to HNL. First time to Alaska and hopefully it won't be my last. Santa Claus House Possibly the best place to shop for gifts if you are near here. It's about 20-25 mins south of Fairbanks. Antler Arch The museums here are free. Take advantage. The arch was close by as well. Ice Museum Fairbanks $15. Good for family, couple, or group pics. Regardless, there is a slide here that is worth the admission. Around the area, there is a Moldovan restaurant named Soba. It was my first time and worth the try! Pioneer Park Closed during these times, its a neat touristy spot to walk your legs. You can walk inside but most shops and attractions are closed however. Come during summer. Pikes Waterfront Lodge This was the place where I initially wanted to stay at first but Airbnb often provide cheaper results. The Love Alaska sign is here and there are some ice sculptures as well. I say this is the hotel that is worth a see if you are here. My ...

Makiki Valley secret waterfall Oahu hikes

Because it's considered a secret I can not divulge how to get there. If you recognize some of the landmarks in my pics, then it should be good enough to tell you where it is. The waterfall is found in Makiki Valley loop trail so good luck. It is roughly about 20-30 mins in from the entrance. I did this with the meetup.com crew. So enjoy the pics. If you find it then good for you. And remember to keep it a secret. The waterfall Enjoy. It's a nice scene if you do find it. You can hike to the top of the fall in which I did. It's like several minutes if anything from the bottom. Just always watch your footing. Take care folks. Thank you God and thank you to the meetup.com crew. Laters.
