Hello,Takuya SAITO who did a round around the world by bicycle @ Charridermanis. It seems that I was in Osaka when I was small, I did not have memory of that time, I have been living in Fukuoka since I was in kindergarten. Therefore, the view of Fukuoka was commonplace. Even so, it will be nostalgic if you leave a bit. "I tried walking from the nine beach to HakataEven so, I wanted to introduce the reason of Fukuoka, and I took various pictures.

What Iwataya was working on is a food supermarket called "Sunny". However, due to the slump in the department store business, it was sold to Seiyu as part of the business restructuring plan. Because that Seiyu was also acquired by Walmart of American capital, now Sunny is also affiliated with Walmart. When Fukuoka people who only know the food supermarket Sanyo go to Seiyu, I am surprised to be doing appliances and clothing items.

A ramen shop called "the second best shop on earth" that has been worrisome for a long time from a strange appearance.


Is it curry that Fukuoka people think of in a house food, "Umakka-chan"? It is instant noodles of Tonkotsu taste boasting tremendous popularity in Kyushu.


There is also an instant noodle maker called "Maltai" in Fukuoka. Straight noodle stick not rice noodles are the main product.


Although it is not ramen, a chain store called "West" of udon and Yakiniku is also famous in Fukuoka. Friday West.


A place
"Fukuoka Tower" was built in accordance with the opening of Yoka topia. It is a symbol of Fukuoka with a unique shape called a triangular prism, a near-futuristic appearance with a full-glazed glass. Sea beach tower of 234 meters high in Japan. Personally memories that Space Godzilla broke down in the movies.


The tide oar of Fukuoka castle (Maizuru castle). Because I do not have a castle tower, I think that it is not so famous, but there are castle ruins in Fukuoka too.

A festival called "Yamakasa" announcing that summer will come to Fukuoka every July. Decorative mountains are displayed in various places in the city. In the past, Yamakasa of this size ran around the city. A decorative mountain is permanently set up at Kushida Shrine except at the festival time.


At the former Hakata station, "Kuroda clause bronze statue" which had a presence in the old Hakata station, I was concerned not being able to find it at Shinpohata station, but it was in the same Hakata mouth as the former Hakata station. Kuroda clause is Fukuoka's folk song which begins with the lyrics "If drinking swallows drinks ...".


What did you think. Did you know any nostalgic pictures? I want you to be caught in the chin of the people who have been involved in Fukuoka even a little.

Even when I cycled around Japan on a bicycle, I also knew about "wide wait" so I rounded my eyes to "Ikui TV" in Iwate. I know the "Nishitetsu Store" so I felt familiar with Shizuoka's "Shizutetsu Store". So, it is interesting that you are here.
