Fukuoka, Japan

During my brief time in Japan I went to Fukuoka, the largest city on Kyushu, a few times. Each time the weather was rainy so I didn't get many good pictures. But the food and shopping made the trip worth it, especially at the Tenjin and the Canal City Hakata.

My friends from the Harpers Ferry and Birgitta from the USS Tortuga get some dinner. OUr waiter was dressed as a frog. We couldn't figure out why.




Marius (Dennis's son) and I found a robot at the mall.





Dennis and I getting some world famous Hakata Ramen.





The "Sky Dream" Ferris wheel. Tallest one in Japan and tied as the 4th largest in the world at 120 meters. It overlooks the entire city and the bay. It was a cloudy day so the pictures aren't great.
