This half day tour includes must see points in Hakata, old merchants' district : Shofukuji Temple, Tochoji Temple, and Kushida Shrine. Shofukuji temple is the first Zen temple in Japan founded in 1195. When I visit this temple and walk in the large yard with many old trees, I find my mind calm down. I would like you to enjoy its quiet and solemn atmosphere. At Tochoji temple, founded in 806, you'll be amazed to see Fukuoka Daibutsu, the biggest wooden seated Buddha in Japan. Kushida Shrine has been a guardian shrine for local people since its foundation in 757. I visit this shrine to celebrate the growth of my child on special occasions or on a new year's day to pray for my family's health and happiness. Seasonal festivals are held at this shrine, and a 13- meter-tall magnificent festival float is displayed in the yard. Why not take a picture in front of it? For lunch , I'd like to bring you to a good local ramen restaurant, if you like. At the end of the tour, I will see you off at your hotel
