We ended up at the IMS building. This is one of Fukuoka's big attractions that doesn't look like a big attraction. It is probably the only thing that rates a mention in the big Lonely Planet type English guidebooks in Fukuoka that I haven't posted something about on the blog.
This is probably because on the outside it just looks like any other office building in town. On the inside though it is a giant mega shopping mall with 14 floors wrapped around a central open space:
We went up to the top 3 floors which is where they have the restaurants. There are a lot to choose from, we went for one of the health food options. We got seats next to the window which had some really great views of the city:
We could watch the sunset as we ate:
And the lights of the city came alive as it got darker and darker:
On the very top floor there is a "sky garden"which we went up to after dinner. We had the place all to ourselves:
We could see the city from up there too:
Today we had a day off too and went over to Kashii shrine. We stopped at a cafe along the way and had cakes. My dad and I had gone to this same place when he visited last year. In the summer though you can sit on the sidewalk and enjoy the tree-lined boulevard:
Kashii shrine was nice as usual:
