Our guide met us at the station.
Went to where they start the Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival race...
I almost lifted...yah right...one of the rocks that the big sumo guys are only supposed to lift..
After we went to the flagship store for the Ichiran chain...personally, better than ippudo...
and that is the ippudo in Hakata and not some off-shoot chain in NYC or HKG...
I mean where better to go for some Hakata Ramen than well, Hakata...
