okay we're going to take a look around the Japanese subway station here in
Fukuoka we're in Tenjin station the ticket booths where you go through to
get the trains we'll do that another day I just want to have a look because
there's a sort of underground shopping precinct just down here
and a lot of people come down here just just to shop so let's have a look see
what they've got I've never been down here before it's a
little mural of a food sort of pop Walker it's an advertisement I've just
noticed so it's it's just there advertising something but it looks cool
okay smell coffee I smell really strong coffee is it Starbucks
no it's this place here Kaldi Coffee oh I didn't think wow I didn't
think it could be Starbucks you don't use to get that much smell but this
place is a girl making little coffee samples thank you
I've got my sample and I've got myself a little sample coffee didn't
even ask for one but as sweet is that so this place we
all know Kaldi Kaldi was the Ethiopian goat farmer I think that the
first discovered coffee so that's where that name comes from so what have we got
here Chuck I didn't know I was getting a coffee
well that's suit super sweet sweet I wasn't expecting it's quite often the
Japanese coffees have not been that sweet that one is very sweet look at this
place
just noodles not coffee making syrup all different types of teas just put my my
coffee down a minute it's a little on the tiny bags 334 360
including the tax tell us about five dollars I think little under know us
that would be you know that would be about three three dollars thirty three
dollars fifty us this is all teas it's busy in here
it's just too busy look look I will go back outside see what else is here
and that is super sweet
just pouring them out she is throwing them out but that's got a lot of sugar in
it oh it's more here it's a big shop so
look down here pretty much as far as the eye can see there are shops so I can see
now why they say people come down here just to shop know the food situation is
down in the subway seems to be mainly sort of sunglasses coffees telephones
very clean down here though again there's a little seamstress here on the
side
it's a Sunday so it's not a workday today so perhaps it's busier quieter I
don't know I'll tell you what what inspired us to come down here I said to
Michelle let's go down and see if they've got all the vending machines
that sell all sorts of foods strange things they sell in vending machines
here in Japan look there's a sorry I'm detracted by this little house little
underground house yeah we thought they'd come down and see if they have all the
cool vending machines because we're not seeing them on the streets here in
Fukuoka selling any that there's a lot of them but all they do is sell coffees
and drinks so I'd really appreciate if anyone can tell me where are the vending
machines that sell all the food snacks and the sort of toiletries and also odd
things that you see them selling in Tokyo is that sort of thing all over
Japan just in Tokyo will we find it in Fukuoka comment let me know it's almost
like
thankfully I know they have all these big statement
art pieces in the underground stations but this particularly nice one
security office
so I'm not seeing anything outstanding down here I mean it is it's nice if you
like sort of modern day shops and things it's a great place to come get away from
the traffic upstairs but I'm not seeing any things I'm usually out standing and
there's a queue here they love queuing in Japan a long long
Hugh I'm not sure what it's for probably 40 there's one in in the high street up
says so this is a we'll have to come here and do some some food tasting our
feeling is this the same as the one that's upstairs ya know so this is all
the rage in Japan at the moment bubble teas tapioca teas
it's a big raises another one on the high street upstairs and they pew nearly
three streets - and it's all young girls they're all coming out they're holding
the bubble tea in their hand taking their selfie photographs of the bubble
tea is quite amazing I mean I like bubble tea but not perhaps that much but
not too not too cute I mean the queue on the one upstairs I think must be sort of
45 minutes or so bubble tea and they're all taken is a
company called it has been 100 then of whether it's a centenary there's another
one here it's super popular in Japan I will do a video of that bubble tea
remind me okay so there was a little slit smattering of food stores and then
we're back into it to clothing and things so I think I am gonna sign off
here actually just look at this ceiling so it's a wrought iron ceiling this
concourse down here is miles long left and right at me are access to the main
shops the big stores upstairs but just look at the brightness contrast of this
place this goes into a shop I think it's called
and bright and light is this place
you
we're best mates okay Michelle we've worked walked almost
the whole length coming to the end of this huge compos of shops I mean you
could could shop for everything that is quite amazing much bigger than I thought
in each of the little avenues that go off go to other shopping centers so I
think you could get lost down here it is absolutely huge the only thing I can't
see are any trains I'm sure I think the train stations themselves Ralph sort of
left to right side to side from this place is huge so don't forget if you're
in Tenjin in Fukuoka and you run out of all the shopping that's upstairs and
come down here and spend the day quite easily go underground if it's raining or
the weather's a little bit rough and it is windy here in Fukuoka here's the
place to come shevelle up be good and we'll see you
for some fun in another video very shortly
