Today we visit Fukuoka, one of the most traditional cities of Japan. It is placed in the island of Kyushu, and his principal attractions are the statues of Buddha, the sanctums and the ancient ruins. A place where the traditional and modern Japan is melted in the only one.
In Fukuoka you will think from modern shopping centers, to small familiar craft shops, that one never goes so far as to explain himself how they could have survived economically during generations. A modern system of meter and trains bleats they will serve to us to move for the whole city.
Our first visit has like protagonist the Sanctum of Kushida, easily recognizable by the enormous red lanterns that decorate his door. It is to only ten minutes on foot of enormous Buddha Daibutsu, and is a place much venerated by the Japanese, who approach so far at least once a day to pray.
One of the best places to eat and to go shopping in Fukuoka is a Channel City, an enormous complex in which you will see hotels, movies, restaurants and shops. The fish and seafood of Fukuoka perhaps are the best of the whole Japan, since it is fresh air of the day, caught every day in the Sea of Genkai. The restaurants of this area are the best of the city, as well as those of Nakasu, the most animated area and to which you have to go if you want to live through the night Fukuoka life.
In the center of the city it has rather set ambulant of meal, like the quarter of Tenjim, where there make use spikes of grilled chicken, stews and soup of noodles.
We recommend to you, if you have occasion, to visit Fukuoka in spring, to approach big Buddha Daibutsu, of more than ten meters high, surrounded by the coloring of the cherry trees, the almond trees and the roses, an extremely charming visual spectacle. The curious of the case is that the flowers and the scenery can be photographed, but not the statue of Buddha. There are observers and police officers in the surroundings so that these norms are fulfilled.
Like véis, Fukuoka is a simple city in Japan, which combines the ancient traditions with the buildings and the modern structures. If you are in Japan, it is a visit more than advisable.
