Welcome to Fukuoka, I would like to show you major historical sites in a half day, using a mini-van. First, we will visit a beautiful Japanese-style garden in "Yusentei", which used to be a Samurai house until the mid 19th century. The villa has a large banquet room facing a pond. I love drinking matcha tea there. You can meditate in the room, or walk through the garden, enjoying the moss garden. I'm sure you'll find yourself much relaxed after visiting the garden. For lunch, why don't you try Nagahama ramen? It is local people's soul food. In the afternoon, we'll move to Hakata district, the eastern side of Fukuoka city by car, and visit Tochoji Temple and Kushida Shrine. You shouldn't miss Fukuoka Daibutsu in Tochoji, the biggest seated wooden Buddha in Japan. Kushida Shrine has been a guardian shrine for Hakata merchants since the 8th century, and it is famous for answering prayers for a good business, happy long life and staying young. Please bring back the best memory of Fukuoka with you!
