Great shots! Nice combo of street scenes, skyscrapers, and nature.
I took the ferry from Busan to Fukuoka and had a few hours in the city. I was lucky enough to see the annual sumo competition. Also, Fukuoka ramen is the best I've ever had.

mrnyc May 2, 2012 2:08 AM

yeah the ramen there is supposed to be great as well as some other foodie items. i really want to visit fukuoka area sometime - thx for showing it off!

arkitekte May 2, 2012 4:08 AM

Solid well rounded thread.

Danny May 2, 2012 2:43 PM

Thanks for these beautiful pics of Fukuoka!

Very sharp pictures. I like all of them. Pretty urban scenes. I like the music you´ve chosen too. Very complete thread!

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain!:tup:

johnnypd May 2, 2012 3:49 PM

lovely pics - looks an affluent, liveable city. nicer than most of the other places i visited down south.

pablosan May 6, 2012 6:12 PM

This is an exceptional photo thread. Thank you for sharing your photos.

Shawn May 7, 2012 1:02 AM

Great pics of a thriving city that even Japanese people tend to forget. "Metro" Fukuoka as defined by what we're used to seeing with the US or Canadian Census would be a good bit above 5 million people.

Travis007 May 7, 2012 3:53 AM

Bravo! Fukuoka is urban heaven, everything looks so crisp, clean, modern, and efficient.

peanut gallery May 7, 2012 4:44 AM

Love your work, quashlo. Outstanding photos.

Bedhead May 7, 2012 7:52 AM

Great thread - love all the variety that you show here.

stepper77 May 11, 2012 4:13 PM

Wow, even the "second-tier cities" look like monsters. Love it. Nice photos, thanks!

fern May 12, 2012 7:14 AM

Fantastic thread

pip May 14, 2012 12:23 AM

Japan doesn't fool around when they build a city. Great pictures

ChiTownCity May 17, 2012 3:19 AM

This is a very nice and well balanced set. I liked all of the compositions. Japan never ceases to amaze me :)

DungHeap May 17, 2012 12:01 PM

Haven't been down there yet, gonna have to hop on the train and visit looks great and wanna try that famous ramen. Thanks for sharing :).

DLLB May 21, 2012 6:13 PM
