Since I was staying in Kuramae this time, going to Ueno was a bit inconvenient, so luckily this train stopped at Aoto, which made getting off there super easy!
There are power outlets on the train, and it’s really fast too.
It’s great for people who’ve just landed, but lining up at the ticket machine to pick up tickets at first was kind of soul-draining. There were so many people, and I was alone, needed to use the bathroom, and still had to wait in line... so annoying〜
I heard there’s a more convenient facial recognition option, so you should look it up!

Monkey D. Luffy Statue
With over 500 million copies in circulation worldwide as of 2020, ONE PIECE has become one of Japan’s most iconic manga series.
It was raining that day. I hope I can collect all of the ONE PIECE statues someday!
There was also a handprint below it, and my hand is tiny.
When I put my hand on it, theirs was way bigger than mine. But I don’t have a photo, so I’m not sure if I deleted it... so sad. I was taking photos nonstop the whole trip in Japan.
Maybe because it was raining, I got to take a good photo with Luffy~
But honestly, I like Levi more.
I don’t know why, but I couldn’t find anything here about Attack on Titan in Hita, only Oita...
Whenever I see Luffy doing this pose, it makes me want to copy it too hahaha. Do everyone’s photos end up with the same pose? -

Kushida Shrine
This head shrine is said to have been built in the 8th century. Residents in Hakata call it “Okushida san.” Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival declares the arrival of summer to the City of Hakata in July, and is dedicated to this shrine.
Honestly, I don’t really remember much about this place. I basically only came because everyone said it’s famous and that you should visit, hahaha.
It was definitely unique, but what I liked was... was it the crane? I thought it was really delicate.
And there was also one with huge nostrils.
Uh, is saying that going to offend anyone?
But the komainu really did have super big nostrils, and it was so cute.
Don’t you think it’s kind of hilarious?
I’m calling it the "broken dog." -

Mizuki Shigeru Road
Mizuki Shigeru Road was established in 1993. The 800-meter-long street from Sakaiminato Station to the Mizuki Shigeru Museum is lined with 177 bronze yokai sculptures.
I seriously, absolutely loved this street.
I kept taking photos the whole way. I actually wasn’t planning to stay that long, but I ended up spending the entire afternoon here. It was so awesome.
There are so many works here... I guess that’s how I’d put it?
This is where I have to mention the iPhone.
There’s a new feature that lets you cut things out and turn them into stickers,
and these were especially perfect for that.
Hahahaha, I seriously loved it.
And it has so much attitude, don’t you think?
There are sarcastic ones,
slapping ones,
silly ones too,
and a ton of stunned-looking ones.
I can even tell stories with these pictures, hahaha. If you’re interested, follow my IG.
If I get more than 10 likes, I’ll post my own IG too hahaha (probably).
Also, I’m not very good with punctuation.
I honestly don’t really know how to use periods or break things into paragraphs. -
