One-day tour in Hakata Gion: a perfect interweaving of history and modernity🏯🛍️

#FukuokaItinerary

From Tochoji Temple to Canal City Hakata, this trip to Gion in Hakata makes people feel the ingenious fusion of history and modernity. Tochoji Temple is one of the oldest temples in Hakata. The temple enshrines a huge wooden Buddha statue, and the solemn atmosphere instantly calms the soul. Then go to Canal City Hakata, a modern shopping mall with a canal theme. It not only has a variety of shops and restaurants, but also wonderful water fountain performances, which makes people linger.

Watching the believers worship devoutly, or the tourists enjoying the fun of shopping in Canal City, I can't help but sigh that this journey is not only a cultural exploration, but also an experience of life. A one-day trip to Gion in Hakata allows people to find balance and surprises between history and modernity.
