Hello, everyone！
We here are Office recovery and restoration Dot.Com. website, personnel in charge.
Having been setting up our company office at Ikebukuro, Toshima ward, Tokyo, we are an interior decorative construction work contractor, mainly taking charge of Interior decorative finishing work・The original state recovery and restoration work in all over Japan.
This time, we are introducing my travel report of three nights and four days in Fukuoka prefecture in order to visit sightseeing spots and to have exquisite cuisine.
On the sightseeing spots which I am introducing and explaining, as my knowledge is also partially vague, it might be a poor writing. So, I sincerely ask for your understanding.
Day１．
On the first day of my trip in Fukuoka. After joining with a friend of mine who lives in Nagasaki, while asking him to guide around Hakata train station, we enjoyed a recreation center, and had meals, then played and walk around the center town too.
In early morning, I left for Narita domestic airport and flew to Fukuoka airport.
It was raining in Fukuoka at that time, but luckily it was only a little rain. From the airport, I took a subway to Hakata station. Although it was my first visit to the meeting point, we could safely get together in a vast station after wandering here and there.
After getting together with him, we visited「KITE Hakata」, a commercial facility which directly leads us to Hakata train station. While we walked around at a restaurant street wondering what to eat, the friend told me that he has never eaten tantan ramen noodle. So, we decided to eat it as the memorable first meal in my Fukuoka trip.

Special Hakata Tantan ramen noodle
It is a special Tantan ramen noodle of brilliant fusion of sesame aroma flavor, and a little sharp hot taste.
Its soup tastes strong, and the after-taste is refreshing as well.
It is as if we want to drink till the final one sip.
The noodle they use in the shop is homemade which is middle thickness type.
Its congeniality with the soup is superb. So, the taste is so nice that we want to eat again.

On the way, I was wondering what I shall eat.
