Title: What Can You See on a Private Day Tour from Fukuoka Cruise Terminal? A Licensed Guide's Report

I met the guests at 9:00 at the Fukuoka Cruise Center. We first went to Nanzoin Temple. One of the guests was wearing shorts and would have needed to buy a 500-yen cover, so they chose not to enter. They were greatly impressed by the reclining Buddha statue. Since they said they wanted to see Onitsuka Tiger shoes, we went to Canal City. They bought a pair of Onitsuka Tiger shoes and had ramen at a ramen restaurant. We visited Tocho-ji Temple to see the Buddhist statues, went to Kushida Shrine, viewed Hakata-ori textiles at a traditional townhouse, and then returned to the port. The guests were also collecting goshuin stamps and seemed genuinely interested in temples and shrines, so they were very satisfied.
