My 2nd travel to Japan.

Before year 2014, I had never went aboard in leisure purpose. I even can't believe that I have traveled to Japan twice this year when I start to write this article to recall the best parts of the travels.
It simply happened. It's the best gift to me in this year.


1/3, Fukuoka, and all those in Kyushu [v0.3]

How long does the flight take from Shanghai to Fukuoka? About one hour and a half. To Shanghai, Fukuoka is nearer than many cities in China. It didn't feel like an oversea travel when I arrived at Fukuoka airport.
I thought this travel should be a lonely travel before I departed. I have never been so wrong in my life. Sumire was waiting right outside the arrival exit. In fact he had been waiting there for 1 hour! We then gathered with Lucy as soon as we arrived at the nearby metro station, who came directly after work. No doubt it is the best welcome I have received. Ah, and also best escort. After arriving at Hakata by metro, Lucy leaded all the way to my hotel. We walked north along the railway, passing by a drink vending machine, crossing a river, to the hotel in a quiet neighborhood. (I love the way Japan being quiet despite of the high density.)
After I checked in, we returned to JR Hakata station to look for supper. We went to Yodobashi, (yes, super famous to Chinese travelers,) for a restaurant named Nanairo Shokudou literally meaning Seven Color Restaurant. The seafood set meals were delicious in a good price. Sumire and I ordered kanbachi sushi sets and Lucy had a seard bonito set.

2/3 Lonely travel in Chuugoku

[JR Hakata City: It's a shopping mall sharing the same building with JR Hakata station. It's a bit confusing because there's not a city named Hakata, or JR Hakata. (It's acceptable to me, considering "Sunshine City" also being a shopping mall.) ]

3/3 I'm back, Tokyo

Typhoon comes, typhoon go. Aww, Typhoon again.
