After Osaka I headed down to Fukuoka for 3 nights...

Onsen time! My first experience at a Japanese onsen. We drove about 45 minutes out of the city to this place in the mountains:
entering the onsen
price list
view inside the onsen (sorry, couldn't take any more than that! haha)
after we finished at the onsen, we had dinner at the restaurant there. first up, tofu
then it was a chicken nabe... fukuoka is famous for its chicken
view of the hot pot
after you finish all the chicken and vegetables you add rice and eggs to the soup!
then it was back to Fukuoka... I don't know what it's about, but I like this duck!
the next day I checked out Ohori Park and the ruins of the Fukuoka castle

afterwards, it was time to go to the club... Kieth Flack
