Journey to the East: Day 6 Fukuoka

We went to Gion area of Hakata, aka old Hakata, which is only around the corner from our hotel.  It is fully of temples,  We spent all morning there, along the way, we came across fishball workshop, with free sample, a kimono workshop, etc.

Royal Steamed Breadroll Place!

Before we crashed out, we went into this little one-chef restaurant and had some lunch.  Not a single English word in sight. 

We wandered to the pier for some ice-cream and roasted sweet potato.  Wandered through a Christmas market and found the yatai, food trucks, for some dinner. Yatai was an experience, one that we would unlikely repeat.

We went home on the subway, we didn't know the machine send the tickets out stacked.  I had to bother the station working, who said no to English, I spoke in English anyway...

So much for a "shorter" day, we did some laundry in preparation for the next leg of the holiday.
