Last Fukuoka day

My railpass expired (and I needed to get some exercise in anyway) so I was on foot yesterday.

I had a lovely walk to the bougie shopping area and got a coffee. A production team was shooting a commercial, so I watched that for a while. So much hurry up and wait lol.

The local art museum had some really great stuff. I saw some modern art too, which I love.

After lunch, I went down to the sumo stadium fan zone. I was trying to manifest a ticket, but that was a bust. Watching the wrestlers arrive is hilarious. They get a small round of very polite clapping as they walk by.

For some reason, watching a minivan roll up and barf out a giant man is pure entertainment.

After a sit down, i went to see the last temple on my list. Very peaceful.

Im fixing to move on to Kanazawa on Friday.  Kyushu has been fun but im ready for something else.

Anish Kapoor. He’s famous for his use of pigments
Its actually hollow
This was an American fighter I guess
Each upper division fighter has two assistants. The minivans aren’t big enough for all of them, so the assistants arrive early and just sit here. Poor guys lol
You can pay a lot of money to have your remains placed here
