Kokura Castle in a rain
Kokura, Kitakyushu, Japan

We went to Japan during the rainy season, but I just learned that Philly was also very wet with a lot of rain during the past couple of weeks. Looks like I did not have to worry about our plants 😊

The photo is taken on July 9th in the middle of the rainy season when we visited Kokura Castle - with an umbrella, it was still a nice day walking around the castle 😉

Ginkgo biloba

Ginkgo tree serving as a platform for plant growth 😉

A few different plants and moss are growing out of this tree.

Night at the Kokura Castle

The illumination was basically an advertisement for the local baseball team 😑

But I caught a moment without commercials 😉

Tachi-gui udon place, where people eat Udon noodle while standing at the counter

Kokura Station, Kitakyushu, Japan

Due to heavy rain, the train schedules got messed up, and we were so hungry before meeting with my brother’s family 😭
So lucky to find a tachi-gui udon place on the platform at Kokura Station - not only our kids got some tasty food, they also learned an interesting part of Japanese fast food and lifestyle 😋 ☺️

Kokura Castle, Kitakyushu, Japan

Only about 10 minutes (on foot) from Kokura Station, this castle provides an excellent educational opportunity to learn about Japanese history and culture 😊 originally built in 1602, destroyed in 1866, and reconstructed in 1959 😉
