All Americans should visit Fukuoka instead of fast Tokyo for a change.
City known for best ramen and yatai river venders serving drinks and food on the canal at night.Must visit that city you won't be disappointed. Nice people and great food.

I went to the top of the Fukuoka Tower during winter-break. Look down from the tower, there was a beautiful shopping center situated just beside the seaside. It was so beautiful, the shopping center was as real as the building in cartoon world. There was also a tall Christmas tree there. At night the illumination of the Fukuoka Tower was so beautiful. Moreover, the JAL building and the Fukuoka Dome were near to this place.

I didn' t see anything bad. All shops at the first floor were very good also.
