SPRING BREAK JAPAN - FUKUOKA.

From Osaka, we continued our tour to Fukuoka. The check-in area was crowded when we arrived at the Itami (Osaka) airport.  
Checking in for boarding passes was not a problem since ANA counter staff was prompt and courteous. However, for dropping of baggage, there was a long queue and it took us almost 30 minutes to have our check-in baggage cleared by the airport security. They were conducting stringent inspections on all baggage as if there was a security threat..
 Our flight to Fukuoka was operated by this B737-500.

While waiting at the departure lounge, I took pictures the aircraft movements in the apron and in the air.
 ANA's 60th anniversary special c/s "Yume Jet" you and me B767.
 A JAL B777-200?

It was almost a full flight and light refreshment, like Japanese tea, soup, and coffee was served during the one hour flight.
 Leaving Itami (Osaka) airport behind as our aircraft was making a left turn.

 Landing from the sea.
Final approach.
  Landed Fukuoka airport in the rain.
After picking up our baggage, we took the lift to the 3F for this Ramen shop.
 
We could not wait to take this popular and delicious "Hakata ramen" - my favorite,  the "karashi takana ramen".
