This is a great video that shows many spots in Fukuoka city (the big city about 30 minutes from me and where I used to live). It is about 10 minutes long and starts in the morning and goes into the night so you can see how things change.
As you are watching you will sometimes here a kind of music or a mechanical kind of bird sound-those are the cross walk signals for the blind (which are only there because people donate money to keep it going). Also, you will notice along "Naka river" people are setting up little stalls with doors or plastic-those are "yatai" or night time food stands which Fukuoka is famous for. Every time my friend comes from Tokyo she goes to one. You will see "Canal city" which is a famous shopping mall. There is also "ohori park" which is a big beautiful park in the city and the "Nakasu" area which is famous for night time entertainment.
Enjoy!!

Oh my gosh!! I miss Fukuoka soooo much!! I was there for 10 months from 2008-2009 on study abroad. (ToT) もう帰りたい！！ It feels like it's been forever since I've seen these places. Thank you so much for posting this!

You were right, the video is a great way to "see" Fukuoka, you can really feel it.

You have some strange informations. It is disabled person law for the blind persons for roads music like this- not what you said! (where do you get your informations?!)
I was told this by people living in Fukuoka. They said that every year donations are sought for this purpose.
