First Meal

We arrived at our hotel in Hakata, Fukuoka at around 8:30 pm.  Even though our flight took 10 hours and we were pretty tired, we quickly dropped off our stuff and hurried to Yodobashi Camera which was right around the corner from our hotel.  Our main goal there was to find Tomica train toys for one of Geri's grandsons.  

We didn’t find anything on grandson's list, but while we were there we decided to check out the food on the 4th floor.  

We weren't really that hungry, but the tempura place was still open and the tendon looked so good and WE WERE IN JAPAN after all.  And so at 2:00 am Hawaii Time we had our first meal.  And it was good!

J, don't know how you did that first night. Adrenaline maybe? The tempura looks fab though. A 10 hour flight, I'd need to be put on a luggage rack and wheeled out for sure. - N

Where do you find the energy??? When we went to Japan the other year, our flight was long too and we were all wiped out, I think we just went down stair to the 7-11 and bought bento. LOL

The tempura looks good.

We stayed right next to the Hakata JR train station. So many eateries in the area.
Even if the flight is long and you're tired, you catch your 2nd wind because of the excitement of being in Japan
