While we were in Kokura we saw lots of things
around and in the city. The city was filled with covered allies where there were lots and lots of shops: food shops, restaurants, clothing shops, etc. This is a picture of one ally with a Starbucks in it! Mom was happy to find that!
There was also a castle in the middle of Kokura (Kokura Castle). This is a picture of part of the castle and the wall and moat around it. You can also see that there are lots of bicycles parked around the city. So many people ride their bicycles! It seems just as popular as driving your car! It's no wonder why Japanese people are so healthy. Riding around by bicycle all the time and eating very healthy food (fish, lots of vegetables and rice) keeps them healthy.
Because so many people ride their bicycles, they have lots of provisions for bicycle riders. This photo is of the parking area for bicycles that commuters rode to the train station. There are hundreds and hundreds of bicycles locked up.
The restaurants were also fun. They show food in the windows just like we always see in the movies or books. Here are Robert and Noah in front of a restaurant. You could eat at tables like we do in the States or Japanese style (sitting on pillows on the floor). The kids' favorite foods were sushi and noodles; big, hot noodles in soup (udon), or cold noodles with dipping sauce (soba). This particular restaurant gave out miniature bey blades with the kids meals.
