Fukuoka Dome during batting practice

I’ve posted photos from the Sadaharu Oh Baseball Museum before, but for some reason, I have neglected to post any shoots from the place where the museum is housed, the Fukuoka Dome.

Look closely at today’s photo. Do you notice anything odd about the batting practice that was taking place?

Fukuoka alley near Suikyo Shrine

While wandering around Fukuoka one morning I came upon this street. I planned to visit in the evening when it was hopping, but a rain storm sent me elsewhere that night.

The address for this location is:
福岡県福岡市中央区天神1-15-3

麻雀クラブ is a Mahjong Club. They are quite popular gambling establishments in Japan.

Former Fukuoka Prefecture Public Hall Distinguished Guest House (旧福岡県公会堂貴賓館)

Built in 1909, and designated an “Important Cultural Property” in 1984, I was somewhat surprised to stumble upon this building on my early morning walk in Fukuoka. Alas, it was too early for the building to be open, although it wasn’t too early for nearby night workers to be finishing their drinking.
