Merry Christmas from Fukuoka.Fukuoka has a lot of nice Christmas lights up these days. We had lunch at a great restaurant on the top floor of Canal City a couple weeks back which overlooked the ampitheatre, they've got a big white tree hanging there. Best seats in the house:
Kind of a nice tree, assuming its meant to be a tree:
They had some nice lights set up throughout. Candles:
Trees with loads of lights:
They've got them cascading over the vines like a waterfall:
And of course over the "canal" in Canal City:
Reindeer and snowballs floating by:
Yesterday we headed over to Ohori Koen to check out the lights on the lake there:
They had tens of thousands of lights set up on the islands in the lake. We went for a nice walk through them:
The biggest tree was the most impressive:
The little ones were also nice and cute:
But the best in all Fukuoka is of course our little tree:
Ena got a Canadian advent calender at the mall. We've been opening it every day:
We've got loads of presents waiting to be opened:
Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

hi! i came across your blog while google-ing about fun places to visit in Fukuoka! I am planning a trip there and i was wondering if you can advise where is a must-go place in fukuoka for a one day trip?
Depends. Unlike Kyoto or Tokyo, Fukuoka is short on "must see" sights. But if you like the traditional, then Dazaifu is nice for a half day. If you like the modern, then downtown around Tenjin and Hakata have their share of interesting places to explore.
Enjoy the trip!
