Things to Do  

Pachinco Parlors (I think I spelled it right)

Pachinco Parlors (I think I spelled it right), Yatsushiro

 Ike_2005 Says:  I don't know how to play Pachinco. I'm just a fan of Asahi Beer, so I took a picture of the building. If you like to gamble, it's a way to win or lose some money. I've never played before though, and don't really have any plans to try it. 

Yatsushiro Shrine

Yatsushiro Shrine, Yatsushiro

 Ike_2005 Says:  Behind the Castle is another Shrine. I don't know if they're both part of the Shinto religion, but I believe so. Anyway, it's another sight to check out. In the shrines people go to pray for good luck. There is a trough with a ladel at the entrance where they will wash out... 

Yatsushiro Castle

Yatsushiro Castle, Yatsushiro

 Ike_2005 Says:  I don't know much about the castle, but it is interesting to see if you've never been to a Japanese Castle before. There is a shrine inside and a few monuments and a Shrine. Definitely something to check out during the day if you're ever in Yatsushiro, and the best part... 

Hotels  

Central Hotel Yatsushiro: Clean Hotel that is fairly priced

Central Hotel Yatsushiro: Clean Hotel that is fairly priced, Yatsushiro

 Ike_2005 Says:  The hotel was pretty good inside. The rooms are clean and decent size. Just like any other Japanese hotel, they come with toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and any other toiletries you may need. The best thing about it is that it's located about 2 blocks from the... 

Restaurants  

La Fella Resso: A little Italy in Japan

La Fella Resso: A little Italy in Japan, Yatsushiro

 Ike_2005 Says:  I don't remember much special about this restaraunt except that the menus are not in English, and I was just lucky enough to get someone from the staff to help me translate what I wanted to order. The food was very good. I only ate here once, and I went the easy way out... 

Nightlife  

Random bars I didn't get the names of: Different pictures of other bars

Random bars I didn't get the names of: Different pictures of other bars, Yatsushiro

 Ike_2005 Says:  By the time I hit these other places I was so drunk I kept forgetting to take pictures of the signs, so I don't know where the hell they were at. I know they're near the other bars listed on my Yatsushiro page. Anyway, enjoy these couple pictures. 

Bow Bow: Quiet Bar

Bow Bow: Quiet Bar, Yatsushiro

 Ike_2005 Says:  This place was dark and empty. When I walked in they were playing the Wizard of OZ music. I still don't know why I stayed at first, but it turned out to be an alright place. They had a wide selection of alcohol and they changed the music when I showed up. It wasn't really... 

Ran Ran: Average Bar

Ran Ran: Average Bar, Yatsushiro

 Ike_2005 Says:  Nothing too special about this place. The guy that ran the place was a pretty decent guy. He spoke some English and he gave me a free drink. So I gave him a five dollar bill to hang on his wall. He had several other foreign currencies hanging on his wall so I figured since... 

Club Glory: Karaoki of course

Club Glory: Karaoki of course, Yatsushiro

 Ike_2005 Says:  This place was very expensive, but it was definitely an experience. It was the only Club I went to after this one. I couldn't afford another one of these without saving for another 3 months. Anway, when I went inside a the two girls escorted me to a booth, brought me a drink... 

Transportation  

The best way to travel by ground

The best way to travel by ground, Yatsushiro

 Ike_2005 Says:  I love riding the train vice the bus. Granted it's a little more expensive, but offers a lot more than a bus ever will. You can smoke and drink on the train. The bus you cannot. You also have a toilet on the train. On the bus you don't. So I take the train everywhere unless... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Pushy Drunk Japanese Men

Pushy Drunk Japanese Men, Yatsushiro

 Ike_2005 Says:  Not all Japanese men are pushy when they're drunk, but this guy was. He kept buying me beer and was trying to offer me food after I had just eaten. I couldn't understand a word he was saying either. Plus he talked with his mouth full of food which was kind of disgusting.... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Japanese Police out Protecting and Serving

Japanese Police out Protecting and Serving, Yatsushiro

 Ike_2005 Says:  This one blew me away. I got to see my own Rodney King footage (well it was the Japanese version). I was just walking to the next bar, and saw some drunk fighting with 2 police officers. They shoved him in a corner and started talking to him. Next think I see is his friend...

 It's kind of funny how I ended up here. I was suppose to be going to Hiroshima again, but the lady at the ticket place gave me the wrong tickets. Well they're not written in English, so I went...

 As for Kurume, I am wondering - how could Yatsushiro make it to become listed?? Anyhow, although not that important, the city has something to offer.......
