Fukuoka to Nagasaki - bullet train Shinkansen - Japan

One last look at Fukuoka station & I discovered a Henry Moore sculpture hidden among the Christmas decorations


The label reads :
Draped reclining Mother & Baby
1983-84   Henry Moore

This is the rear of the sculpture.
In a long line buying the ticket

In the window of one of the train station shops I saw a Bonsai for sale.
I've killed lots of Bonsai in my time, so I'm definitely not going to buy this one.

1,650,000 YEN = $16,857.11 Australian Dollars

Love travelling the Shinkansen.

Train food .... Spam Sushi ??
Not bad if you like this processed meat


These are Chinese pork buns.
Actually, you can find many more flavors than pork
You can find these in Lawsons, Family Mart & Seven/11 throughout Japan



Taking the train from Fukuoka to Nagasaki



The Kyushu countryside from the train window
..


This was purchased from the Family Mart at the train station.
Astonishing ! How do they manage to do this???

647 yen converts to $6.60 AUD
It seems it's cheaper to live in Japan, than in Australia.

Finally arrived at Nagasaki station
