- When many think of Japan’s major cities they think of tall silver buildings and weaving concrete jungles, however ACROS Fukuoka Prefectural Hall offers something very different. This foliage-covered building was carefully constructed so that the natural elements would slowly blend in to its façade blurring the line of where the natural and artificial meet. If you have even a passing interested in the city landscape, then you can’t go past this incredible sight.

- Once you’re done trekking through the area stop for a little debrief and caffeine hit at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine’s Starbucks, arguably the most impressive Starbucks you’ll ever visit. Meticulously crafted by Architects Kengo Kuma and Associates the Starbucks sits at the approach to Tenmangu Shrine. Inside the store over 2000 long wooden beams are latticed along the walls creating an atmosphere that’s near impossible to articulate. It simply has to be seen up close to be fully appreciated.
