Fukuoka - Nokonoshima Island
A Visit to an Island Nature Park

Hakata - Even Further South
Closer to Seoul than to Tokyo
Our final destination was Hakata, the main city in Fukuoka, the southern-most island in Japan. It has a different feel than any of the other places we visited. It's normal. This is a back-handed compliment, I guess. There are no great historical buildings to see, no well-known temples and the cutesie kawai culture is muted. It seemed like a regular city full of regular people, far from the capital's trendiness.
