The Symphony of Tranquility and Bustle—Nokonoshima and Nakasu.

In the early morning, I boarded the ferry to Nokonoshima once again. This island showcases different sceneries throughout the four seasons, and today's sunlight made the sea sparkle with shimmering waves. I sat down at an old tea house on the island, ordered a cup of matcha, and looked out at the distant sea through the wooden window, feeling the serene beauty of the island. As night fell, I returned to the city and headed to Fukuoka's most iconic night scene—Nakasu Yatai. This street of food stalls along the Naka River is filled with various local delicacies. I randomly chose a small shop, sat on a low wooden stool, and ordered a steaming bowl of Hakata ramen. The rich tonkotsu broth warmed my heart in the night. The owner skillfully flipped the yakitori on the iron plate, and the diners raised their glasses and chatted merrily. This lively and warm atmosphere is the most charming aspect of Fukuoka's night.
