Shaking hands with the stars
One of my favorite things about Fukuoka was shaking hands with several stars at the Fukuoka Dome. Whenever somebody famous visits Fukuoka, they have a cast of their hand made, and they mount it outside of the Dome. There must have been over 50 hands, mostly Japanese stars, but their were several notable Western hands their, including Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Paul McCartney and Simon & Garfunkel. You can shake hands with all of them!
