Since I am in the Relief Society Presidency, we decided to try to make the temple more accessible. I mean, as assessable as possible when you live on an island without one! So we planned out a one-day trip to Fukuoka. With cheap flights (under $100), we coordinated a trip for June 1. 6 ladies attended and we had a good time. We caught the 9:30am flight out and the 8pm flight home.
We landed in Fukuoka, stopped for a delicious lunch, then took two taxis to the temple.We did the 1:30pm English session, which was packed. Then we did pictures. We had a misunderstanding about metro stops and rather than walking to the closest station, we walked a few miles to the biggest station.Which was fine. We had time and we enjoyed the walk, but we did walk for over an hour!
I managed to talk the rest of them into trying Okonomiyaki for dinner and everyone left happy, especially me! We took the metro to the airport and had plenty of time to get checked in and to our flight. It was a really great day with some really great ladies!
Me, back in my beloved Mainland, at the Fukuoka Temple!
Group shot! They asked a sweet Japanese lady if she would take the photo and she got way down to get just the right angle. She she nailed it!
Temple from a different spot, as we were walking away.
Another group shot as we hoofed it through the city. Good times!
And if you are counting..... This makes the 4th temple in the 4th country in 4 months! March was Hong Kong, May was both Taiwan and Seattle, and June was Fukuoka.
