It was the first time for me to catch the Nozomi shinkansen, which hurtles along at a maximum speed of 300 kmph. We were literally in Okayama in 15 minutes (which usually takes 1 1/2 hours by local train) before arriving at Hiroshima in just over an hour (it takes 4 by local train!!) and transferring to the Fukuoka-bound train. Amazing Japan.

operating out of Himeji (Hikari and Kodama are the other two)
Once in Fukuoka, we set to find Canal city and the outdoor boulevard featuring Hakata's famous ramen.




And sadly, it is all we could enjoy in Fukuoka as the next morning, we completed our journey to Nagasaki.
