I got up early to catch the first subway train to Meinohama, the terminus of Fukuoka City subway.
I stayed at the station for more than an hour to take pictures of the trains including JR trains running through subway line from Chikuhi Line.

I returned to the hotel and ate the same breakfast as the yesterday's one.
With my family, we went to Kashii-Kaen via Nakasu-Kawabata and Kaizuka by Fukuoka City Subway and Nishitetsu Kaizuka Line. Kashii-Kaen is an amusement park where miniatures of Sylvanian families are displayed.

It's "Mori no Tetsudou" meaning "Forest Railway". But, it actually seems to be "Meadow Railway"
Since heavy rain struck the amusement park, we were the only family entered the amusement park, though I don't know whether there was a visitor after we left there.
Nishitetsu 600 series(Tram) was displayed in the amusement park
Nishitetsu 323 series was also displayed in the amusement park
When we hanged out almost all of the park, we headed for Dazaifu via Chihaya, Ohnojo(Shirakibaru), and Nishitetsu-Futsukaichi.

After arriving at Dazaifu station, we walked to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine through shops and restaurants for tourists. Bridge with roof hanging wind bells became sightseeing spots around the shrine. They included Starbucks, probably because a lot of foreigners also visit the shrine.

We returned to downtown of Fukuoka City via Futsukaichi Station by Nishitetsu trains.
We found Nishitetsu 7000 series in Nishitetsu-Gojō.Sta, when the train was waiting for train bound for opposite direction.
We took Nishitetsu bus No.6-1 for Fukuoka Tower around Tenjin.
