From Fukuoka Castle, we took the subway to Gion Station where Yayoiken is located. It offers delicious and value for money set meal.
Shop Front. Most of the set lunch are displayed in the showcase outside the shop.

You need to buy the set meal from a ticket vending machine.

The service from the staff was very efficient and prompt. All served with a wide and warm smile. Cold iced water was served almost immediately to our table after the tickets were submitted.
Eatery's interior, very cosy and warm

Condiments and kettle of cold water.


Every set meal came with miso soup, pickled vegetables, a small piece of tohu and free flow of rice and hot green tea.
I ordered Yasai Itame set 肉野菜め定食 - stir fried vegetables with slice pork @ 690yen. Singapore's 9.90++ - It was very tasty and I would say its taste was close to Chinese...

Hubby ordered the mix toji set ミックスグリル定食 - Sliced beef, fried prawn, pork cutlet topped with egg. Also costed 690yen. Singapore's 13.90++. He also said it was tasty and delicious. We enjoyed the lunch very much. Really value for money and service is really impeccable.

After lunch, we got back to the hotel and had a rest before venturing out to JR HAKATA CITY for shopping, followed by Tsubame-No-Mori Hiroba (Roof Garden) again to get the night shots.
City of lights


Next, we took the subway to Tenjin to look at the Christmas Decoration. Also did some shopping.



It was too cold to try the Yatai so it was back to JR Hakata City for dinner and it was Ippodu Ramen again, followed by shopping at Jr Hakata City.

Day 7 - 福岡市赤煉瓦文化館 Fukuoka City Culture Center-> Shintendo 新天町-> Ohori Park 大濠公園, Ōhori-kōen - > Fukuoka Castle Ruins 福岡城, Fukuokajō

Then we walked along Meji Dori from Nakasukabata Station to Tenjin. Detoured to Fukuoka City Red Brick Culture Center (Former Kyushu branch of Nippon Life Insurance Company). This is on the first right turn after the canal. You will notice the prominent green dome-shaped roof when walking towards Tenjin. The first floor houses the Fukuoka City Literature Hall exhibition room and a cafe while the second floor is made up of several meeting rooms. It was used to be a historical museum but reopened in 1994 to the public under the name of Akarenga Bunka Kan (cultural Center).

Suikyo Tenmangu 水鏡天満宮 with its distinct bright red colour stood out along the way to Tenjin.

It was cold outside and we needed a warmer place so we headed for Tenjin Underground shopping street. We spent much time here the last trip.

We had not been to Shintendo 新天町 before so we got out from one of the exit to Shintendo 新天町. This is another shopping district with many shops and eateries.


The "clock tower" in Shintendo. Different song will be played at the hour with the characters moving. Not very spectular tho.

Next stop was Ohori Park, 2 stops away from Tenjin Station.


From Ohori Park, we talked to Fukuoka Castle. This is one of the entrances to Fukuoka Castle Ruins
