16 April 2024 Fukuoka: A Nice Dinner of Sushi

 


We put our feet up in the room for a bit after returning form the park.  We saw some fun things outside and had some tasty bits at the lounge.  These bits were not tasty enough to fill us up so we headed up to the 35th floor for some Japanese fare.  Sushi, sashimi and tempura fit the bill to fill us up.  A delightful gentleman cane in and sat next to us with his dinner party.  We got to chat a bit and then we were back to the room for the night



We saw this from the outside as well as the inside.  We can watch the workers overhead while we have our breakfast

This is a one person roller coaster.  Will we go there?

Look, a chinook!


A lighthouse of sorts, it looks pretty small

We can see folks inside in the viewing platforms

A delightful party arrives.  The man is a Brit who lives in Adelaide Australia.  His dinner companions are his friends from 15 years.  He taught English here once upon a time.
