And here is the rest of the story where I tried to find the Yamakasa line:
Because of the good weather my good mood was still there :) For me there wasn't an existing school so I was on the right way ^^ So why be mad?
After passing the Gofukumachi Subwaystation I saw this:

After passing the Gofukumachi Subwaystation I saw this:
There
it stood "ドイｓツ" (german). And not only this but also "パン" (bread).
After all that time of suffering due to the fact that I couldn't eat real german
bread I found a shop with it :D
Everyone who had been in Germany and ate bread knows that it's the best! :)
So I went in for a research. Inside of the bakery I couldn't find even one bread which was looking like german...Then there was pyramid cake and some others. That was all which was german...no bread for me...Or maybe it was already been sold out.
"Don't worry be happy" ^^
Remembering that phrase I walked on.
And then there was it. The best shop where you can eat delicious and cheap food: HottoMotto :D

But no time for food! I had to compleat my mission!
A few steps on I saw this:

It were some ceramics (two little horses).
If you follow this street to the Hakata Station you'll find some more.
Just a few minutes later stands a shop which sells motchi :)

I will maybe try it a different time :) There was no time right now. I was working! :)
After a few minutes later I found my next stop: The "ampm" (a konbini)
After I bought some chocolate bars for all who had to stay at the company (they needed happy hormones ^^)
I had to go to the little street next too the konbini.
There was a building which is in a renovation state. But really everything between the mainbuilding and a little entrance (maybe :S) was gone:

Doesn't it look strange :)
After going rigth I had to go straight for a while.
And then there was the next building. It is very new. Next to it is a very very old one. You can see where the knocked building had stood.

A few meters on was the next thing I was interested in. A great picture on a wall of a house. It totally looks Japanese :D
And
than came the crulest thing ever! The members of the Yamakasa have
to pass the chocolete shop...How can they do it? I mean it looked so
delicious from the outside. I had problems not gooing in but if you run
such a long distance IN THE MORNING (start at 5:00 am) you will be very
hungry!
And look at it :D
And look at it :D
Even now I'm hungry by looking at the pictures ^^
After that great job of the Yamakasa by not entering the shop they went left at the Showadori (after my imagination).
There was the next wonderfull shop! It was just one day after Halloween but it was there: a shop with christmas goods :D

After work I looked inside and saw the best present ever! My mom totally would love it! A piano, but not a nomal one:
On the top of it two figures were dancing to christmas songs which are played by the piano :D
I nearly bought it but it was a bit too expansive and also I didn't khow how I should get it home? It definetely would have been broken...
And then I really got lost..I thought that I followed the right route..But after I found a shopping centre I knew something was wrong..
A little nice shrine is behind that shopping centre:
Than I got a bit orientation back when I was infront of the Asia Art Museum where I want to go on Wednesday. After all it is the day of culture (That's why we have a free day). So I looked up the opening times.
Than I thought again I was on the right way ^^
I ended up at a park...
Just after I opened my map a man appeared next to me. He talked nearly perfect english with a British accent. He asked if he could help me and showed me the way :D
I had to go back ^^
I wasn't so far away of the Kushidajinja ^^
Finally I found the birthplace of Kawakami Otojiro (*1864). He became famous because of his song Oppekepe-Bushin which satirized the liberal and democratic movement in the society after the Meiji-Restauration in 1868.
Also he formed the theatre of Japan. He himself was a actor and a scriptwriter. Because of his efforts Japanese theatre became famous oversee.
Exactly where this little shrine stands right now the birth house of Kawakami Otojiro stood there years before.
But this point doesn't belong to the Yamakasa route.
You can find it on this map below (red star: Kawakamis birthplace; green star: Hu-Connect):

After visiting the birthplace I saw this:
It
really looks like a little swimming pool (Even the special ladder is
there) :). But it isn't deep enough. So what could it be? I really don't
know! So for me it is a little combination out of a sandbox and
a swimming pool ^^
Then there was something else I saw:
Once again a picture at a building. That is totally Japanese :D
And it looks kinda cute^^
Going on I finally found the goal of the Yamakasa route. It should be at the end of the street (picture below):
I hope it is the right street^^
Just one thing I didn't visit on my mission: th school.
That's why I wanted to find it. And than I understood! I had to go one street further...
It sounds easier than it is in real...I nearly visited the International Congress Centre of Fukuoka.
It must be impossible to find this school. And after I wanted to go straight back to work I saw it! The school was just on the other side of the street :D
And in the showcase I could see some accessories of an Yamakasa :DAnd it looks kinda cute^^

That was my special route of the Yamakasa. So as you can see there are times where it is better to go the wrong way. So I found lots of special things I wouldn't have visited!
Also it isn't so easy to find the route. Hopefully at the Yamakasa festivals are enough people to show the way :D
Otherwise they have to stop because of frustration at the chocolate shop ^^
If you are in Fukuoka at the time of the Yamakasa race, please show them the way!
