Visitors can enjoy fresh fruit at lower prices than supermarkets and a great selection of flowers and plants. In fact, during the right season you can get not only the freshest fruit and vegetables at the highest quality but also pricing that is so reasonable you will not be able to just buy 1.
Case in point is the Strawberry season in Japan from December to mid April. I can guarantee that you will not have any better than what you can get here in Fukuoka. Our special type of Strawberry that is specifically grown to be SWEET, is called the Amaou. I cannot tell you how many past clients have argued that the strawberries from their hometown region are the best they have ever tasted. In these cases 100% of them stopped arguing as soon as the strawberry touched their lips. The question that has to be asked, is can you stop a just one pack of strawberries, I think not!
The handmade corner features sausages and tofu, jams, sauces and more, as well as a plentiful selection of bento boxes and sushi. I use this option on sunny days and we have a picnic at a nearby park. Not only some of the most delicious sushi that you can have but get some Vitamin D and fresh air to boot!

Now that my daughter is fully settled in Tokyo, started University and getting accustomised to her new Megalopolis city, we have started to prepare her for the upcoming touring season.
The first thing we wanted to explore was the Tokyo International Cruise Terminal to familiarize with the location, access points, facilities and also deal with any small issues that could pop up on any given day.
Must I say that the location and the facilities are all of World Class which you would expect of such a cosmopolitan and modern city like Tokyo. Having excellent access all across Japan, the Tokyo International Cruise Terminal is a central hub for traveling in Japan and a gateway to exciting sightseeing experiences for visitors from around the world. Opened in 2020 within the Port of Tokyo, the terminal became the new marine gateway of Tokyo with a four-story building with a vast floor area of approximately 19,000 square meters that is capable of accommodating even the world's largest cruise ships.
On this day we arrived by monorail and its only a 10 minute walk from the station to the Port entrance. We did a quick walk around and found everything to be easily locatable and extremely organized. Looking forward to seeing my daughter organize and operate her first tour in the upcoming weeks and months ahead.
