Kyushu- Fukuoka 4

Woke up before 7am, 1hr before planned due to noisy room mate.
Dare not sleep again and check out early and look for breakfast.

Pass by Yayoiken and themenu don't look interesting and decided to eat sandwich again.



Bought the sandwich, took subway to Airport directly from Gion station.

Mentaiko spread
There alot in Fukuoka, almost everywhere. Remember not to buy outside the airport if you are looking for this brand, check- in the custom and inside is tax free. I made a mistake, bought it in the airport before custom and paid tax for it. Just a few steps away.....

Tried this in the airport, very nice but unfortunately only last 5hrs.



One of the louiest meal I had on plane.

My purchase in Kyushu!










This instant ramen recommended by my hostel. One serving per pack.

Bought this knife in Tokyo Hand, heavy n solid carbonised steel knife.
6300yen

Forgot to buy this :(

After custom, right inside airport sell it wihtout tax.

Found this okonomiyaki sauce, probably the best I'd tried.

This is good!

Air ticket: $373.80

Kyushu- Fukuoka 3

Day 7

Went back to Kiwamiya again.
This time i tried out Wagyu steak (60g) & Hamburger Steak (120g), 1680yen.

Total bill including tax: 2138yen
Grilled chicken 300yen
After my first meal and head to CDG to look for JJ tee. Located in a weird area, head towards Nishitetsu Hotel and Jotenji Temple.

Back to Hakata Station and took a train to Kidonanzoin-mae Station (370yen), 28mins.
Away from city, quiet and peaceful.
Kidonanzoin-mae Station
Pick up a hand drawing map from the station. 5mins walk from the station.





I made 2 times wrong route to the sleeping buddha. No wonder getting deeper and no proper road.

This could be the best palce i had visited in Fukuoka.




After 40mins of exploring and finally found it! I did not see many people around, hard to find one to ask.


This metal musical instrucment ont he bridge.
Took the train to Sakado station. Another rural area with Aeon Mall. 15mins walk from the station.

Finally, nothing much to see along the way...
Although Aeon is bigger than Maxvalu but don't make sense to travel so far just to buy some grocery... The bus back to Hakata is not frequent, every 30-60mins.. I missed the bus by 2mins and need to wait for 58mins. In the end I took another bus to airport and trasnfer back to Hakata instead. 
Shortlisted knife in Tokyo hands. Ranging 6300, 6000, 8000yen
Ichiran Main shop in Nakasu
Having dinner in this Izakaya near my hostel.

The deep fried japanese yam is amazing, go with sea salt or mayonaise.
The soju is not amzaing and order another sake also disappointment.

Proceed another meal at Tsukiji Sushi Sen.

One plate of satisfying sushi for 1404yen. Oishi

1.30am still busy in Nakasu
