Then off to see the carp play.
Very cool Friday night game. A very nice win. Expect to see Kenta Maeda in the MLB in due course....IMO of course.
Had dinner with friends and then hopped on the train down to Hakata. We had originally planned to just stay an extra day in Hiroshima but given how far out of the city the airport is, we decided to go to FUK since it is soooo close.
The station is brand new and just beautiful.
Locals were invited to contribute art to the station.
The famous festival depicted on the station wall.
The food floor in the department store in the station just blew us away.
We stayed at this hotel in Hakata..hightly recommended. Report here.
I have some photos also.
I can not say enough about the hotel.
