While visiting Mount Kora in Kurume, of course I had to stop by Kora Taisha Shrine! The shrine is located on the mountain and surrounded by lush greenery. Walking slowly up the approach, the whole area felt very quiet and peaceful, completely different from the bustle of the city.

The shrine buildings at Kora Taisha are very impressive, and the surrounding mountain forest makes them look even more solemn. Around the shrine, you can strongly feel its historical atmosphere. Quietly paying respects and looking at the architecture naturally slowed down the pace of the visit.

My favorite part was the view over Kurume from above. When the weather is good, the view is quite expansive. Standing here, feeling the breeze, and looking into the distance made the trip up the mountain feel truly worthwhile.

最喜歡的就是從山上俯瞰湘南公園的瞬間，和在海邊近距離感受浪花相比，高處的景色更顯得遼闊，也能一次將海岸、街景與自然風光盡收眼底。

如果來到湘南一帶，不妨安排時間登上高處欣賞風景。換個角度看湘南海岸，會發現這裡不只有海邊的浪漫，也有令人難忘的開闊景色！

Yodobashi Multimedia! The entire building is unbelievably huge, with everything from appliances, electronics, cameras, and phone accessories to household goods, beauty products, and toys. On your first visit, it’s easy to lose track of time while browsing.

What I like most is the huge variety of products, and you can compare many things all in one place. Whether it’s hair dryers, headphones, cameras, or all kinds of travel accessories, you can take your time choosing. It’s also very convenient for tourists, and you can check out the duty-free items while you’re there.

While shopping in Fukuoka Tenjin, I also stopped by to check out HULIC SQUARE FUKUOKA TENJIN! The entire building has a very modern look and is located in the Tenjin shopping district, surrounded by department stores, shops, and restaurants, so it’s easy to pass by while shopping.

This area really has the rhythm of downtown Fukuoka. The streets are lively without feeling overly crowded. After browsing the nearby malls, you can find a restaurant for a meal and then keep walking around and shopping. It’s a good choice for a half-day itinerary in Tenjin.

I especially like how you can take your time browsing around Tenjin, with everything from department stores to unique shops. When you get tired, you can find somewhere to rest and have a cup of coffee. You don’t need to pack your schedule too tightly to have a comfortable time.
