Northern Kyushu Trip 2023 - Day 3 -Canal City Hakata Japan

From our hotel, we asked the hotel staff how to go to Canal City. Canal City is a big shopping centre with lots of shops and nearby there is a canal where there's rows of food stalls known as Yatai.

The hotel staff told us Canal City is very near the hotel only 10 mins walk, hahaha, but I did we took more than 20 mins, seems like an easy walk a straight road but we lost our way half way walking and need seek help of the local. 

Most of the locals we met were so helpful and point the direction for us to continue our walk . One of the local actually accompanied us all the way to Canal City. Wow really amazing and helpful. So thankful. Cause was evening and not easy getting a taxi. We actually walked back to the hotel, the same way from where we came after dining at Canal City hahaha.
Inside Canal City is a small canal and a huge fountain.

We ventured outside Canal City to the nearby canal to try to take our dinner along the canal.  Along the canal are food stalls that sells different food mainly Japanese cusine. But is hard to find empty seats. Customers sit around the stalls, there's no extra table along the canal. The wait for empty seats at the food stalls easily need to wait 1 to 2 hours especially during dinner time. We decided to head back to Canal City for our dinner.
