A Walk Around Kyushu
Day 74, Midweek March 26th, 2014
Tuesday March 25th, 2014
Still feeling nether the weather condition I decided to receive got a residual 24-hour interval today inwards the promise of kicking whatever põrnikas or virus I may have. However I decided to produce some gentle sightseeing inwards the middle of the day.
I started the pilgrimage inwards Fukuoka, together with prior to that had visited many times. I am non a large fan of cities inwards general, but Fukuoka is perchance my favorite i inwards Japan. There is a experience hither that is a trivial cosmopolitan, perhaps because the metropolis has ever focused on its historical links amongst mainland Asia, but it is also a trivial to a greater extent than opened upwards than most cramped Japanese cities. There are non many parts of the metropolis I haven't been to together with therefore today I decided to gently explore i I haven't been to before, the expanse approximately Ohori Park.
Ohori Park is built approximately a modest lake/ large pond that was originally business office of the defenses of Fukuoka Castle, hori beingness the Japanese discussion for moat. The path approximately the circumference of the H2O is really pop amongst walkers together with joggers but inwards the middle of the lake are 3 modest islands together with they are all connected past times bridge, together with therefore I chose to walk across the lake.
It was an overcast 24-hour interval together with depression cloud withal clung to the mountains inwards the distance but it was withal quite an impressive thought beingness out inwards the middle of an expanse of H2O amongst the metropolis skyline all around. Once I got to the other shore I was close a modest Japanese garden, together with it was a really pleasant surprise.
It is a stroll type garden together with I was actually impressed amongst it though it is past times no agency good known. One affair yous volition oftentimes run across inwards Japanese gardens are lately married couples having their marriage ceremony photos taken together with today inwards this garden was no exception. After the garden I headed towards the castle ruins, passing the rather striking architecture of the NHK building. I passed past times the Museum of Art. I had heard that they receive got a Dali but I decided, equally I oftentimes do, that the entry fee was out of my budget.
The cherry trees inwards forepart of the museum were blooming, a portent of what I would honor later. The castle grounds were, similar the Japanese garden, quite a surprise. There is generally solely the stonework left together with only a few reconstructed turrets, but it is massive, inwards fact it was the biggest castle inwards all of Kyushu. The grounds were filled amongst reddish trees only almost inwards total bloom. Down below the highest indicate where the continue i time stood is right away a sports common amongst gyms together with stadiums etc together with hither was a hive of activity.
Crews of men were busy erecting tents together with stages together with audio systems together with lights. Starting inwards 2 days at that topographic point was going to hold out the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, something I would produce my best to avoid. There is i concluding halt earlier I caput dorsum to my room to recuperate together with residual upwards for the concluding yoke of days walking, the Korokan, was a grand reception hall together with lodgings for diplomatic envoys from mainland Asia inwards the Nara Period.
Hakata was the solely port of entry for official visitors to Nippon together with they would hold out entertained hither earlier beingness allowed to move on to the capital. Inside a giant factory-like construction archeological excavations are ongoing, but at i terminate they receive got reconstructed a department of the hall which non surprisingly is inwards Chinese style. Best of all, to my way of thinking, the cost is correct amongst no entry fee.
