People who went to Good Beer Faucets last night (was it really just last night?) shoukd have no difficulty finding Ikkokudō Haruyoshi-ten. Turn right just before a 7-Eleven and the restaurant should be on your left.
If coming from Tenjin and not sure how to find it, I will be on the corner of Daimaru Department Store between 18:30 and 18:35 to walk there. it should take between 10 and 15 minutes.

Very jealous of the posts here (and on Facebook and Instagram). I worked the public holiday here today, but loved seeing your posts.
I hope y'all have a great time, even if the weather is a bit hit and miss!!!
Best Wishes

A quick check of the schedule on google yields no 306 bus until later in the day.
So for the Hilton contingent, bus 15 leaves Kyushu Iryo Center Station at 7:04 (next to Hard Rock Cafe, 5 minute walk). Or its a 18 minute walk to the subway.
I'll be aiming to leave the lobby @ 6:55.

Not on the train to Nagasaki I was debating the trip because of the weather, but the decision was made for me by sleep deficit. I just woke up, so sorry I will miss Nagasaki.
Hope you have good weather for the trip. It looked bad here but turns out most of the fog is on the inside of my window (and my head) not in the real world.

Sorry you aren't on the train. It's overcast but not raining. Some people have upgraded themselves to the Green Car for 1,570 yen (but no extra miles)!
Might do the return in Green...if they take plastic @ the station 
At the memorial park.
