Some Friendly Japanese Folk

I thought I would do a write up on the places I’m going to visit in a little more depth .,,

My first destination is going to Fukuoka, which is on the south west island of Japan, Kyushu (九州)..

I guess the first thing that comes to mind when mentioning Fukuoka for me is…. Hakata Ramen.. haha 😛

Apart from Hakata Ramen I’m sure there alot more to Fukuoka. Like sights and activities to do.

I’m staying in Tenjin,

The Nakasu area is definitely worth checking out and is apparently Fukuoka’s #1 entertainment district.. so if you’re looking to head out, give this area a shot..
