An integral part of Fukuoka's foodie scene

“Yatai” Food Stalls serve up some of the best street food in Fukuoka . These temporary food stalls are set up every evening across the city and draw crowds of locals and visitors. It's not just about the food, though; the close-knit atmosphere is part of their appeal. Typical dishes are grilled chicken skewers (Yakitori), hot pot (Oden) and most famously Hakata Ramen, a local noodle dish featuring relatively thin ramen noodles in a pork bone based soup (tonkotsu). Also various alcoholic beverages are available, and help make the yatai a great place to get in touch with the locals.

Dinner: Restaurant Sola >

A follow-up to the original Sola in Paris, which launched in 2011, the Hakata outpost allows foodies to see why MICHELIN starred chef Hiroki Yoshitake has caused such a stir in the French capital.

Dishes on the daily no-choice, multi-course ‘menu du jour’ might involve multiple elements brought together on one plate as if an elaborately presented mini meal of different components. The end result is always unmistakably high-end French, but Japanese ingredients and seasonings are very much to the fore. It sounds rigidly formal, but the minimally decorated dining room buzzes with energy, and the view over the water of Hakata port gives an unforgettable sense of place.

Breakfast: At the hotel

AM: Fukuoka Half Day Tour

Nanzoin is the general head temple and the first amulet-issuing office of Sasaguri Buddhist pilgrimate Route. It is belonging to the Shingon Seet of Mt.Koya. Sasaguri Shikoku was established during the Tenpo era(1830-1844) of the Edo period.But,in 1886, Fukuoka prefectural office ordered them to break the sacred place under the influence of the anti-Buddhism policy. But local people had petitioned the Government for its continued existence for about 10 years. As a result, the Government permitted them to retain it on condition of moving Nanzoin here from Mt.Koyasan. Thanks to such people's effort and passion, now Sasaguri Shikoku became one of the three major Shin-Shikoku sacred place. We welcome a large number of pilgrims a year and pray constantly for everybody.

The reclining Buddha

We Nanzoin have sent medical supplies, stationerys to the children of Myanmar and Nepal for many years. In 1988, the Buddhist congress of Myanmar presented us with sacred ashes of Gautama Buddha, Ananda and Maudgalyayana as a return for our presents. We believe that these presents are thanks to the eminent virtues of many people. Therefore, we planned out to build the statue to worship these sacred ashes. We wish this would be a reliable statue for everybody.

Special Admission to Suntory “YAMAZAKI” Distillery >

On the way to Osaka, We are planning to stop at Suntory “YAMAZAKI” Distillery.

Yamazaki, in southwestern Kyoto at the foot of Mt. Tennozan.

With his unwavering preference for the high-quality water and natural environment vital in whisky-making, Shinjiro selected the land of Yamazaki from among several candidate sites.

The area around Yamazaki Distillery has long been famous for its exquisite natural water, which is even mentioned in the Man'yoshu, the ancient anthology of Japanese poetry. The "Rikyu no Mizu" (water of the imperial villa) selected by the Ministry of the Environment as one of Japan's one hundred best natural mineral waters, continues to bubble forth today.

For the process water used at Yamazaki Distillery, this pure and high-quality groundwater, nurtured slowly over eons, is used.

Surrounded by abundant nature, the unique terrain, where the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu Rivers meet, is the ideal moist and humid environment for the aging of whisky: Yamazaki is indeed a whisky-making utopia.
