Impressive carp, looks almost like it is swimming through the air.

Visited Karatsu Kunchi for the first time. I liked the energetic atmosphere.

The Zombie House (Former Mitsubishi Karatsu Branch Office) looks more and more like an abandoned building. The City is currently looking for donations to restore it.
There are only a few days a year, when the public can go visit the little museum inside. The next visitors day will be this weekend.

I would happily buy an electric Jazz (Fit) or Civic with 350-400km range if Honda would build them, but my next car won't be an SUV or what they call an "e:HEV" (stupid name for a hybrid btw). I guess I have to hope that my Civic from 2008 keeps going until then (or look for alternatives).

Under the hood it's still a Honda Civic.

The rest of the cars on display were Hybrid SUVs. Not exactly stuff you can sell overseas (especially in the EU) for very long. I don't get why SUVs are popular, but if they want to sell them overseas, Honda needs to offer an EV version sooner than later.

Something that has been bothering me for some time: Is Honda going to be alright?

Visited their booth at Balloon Fiesta yesterday and the only fully electric models on display were the N One and an electric scooter. Is that it?
Sure, the new Prelude looks nice, but why isn't it an EV?

Went to see the balloons at Saga International Balloon Fiesta.

A little disappointing: The Cygames Balloon wasn't operated by a group of Zombie Idols (or Horse Girls). 😜

This is one of the newest ones. It was installed a few days ago near Saga Arena to commemorate the release of the movie.
A second one with the show's logo is nearby.

I'm not going to visit all 32 Zombie Land Saga manhole covers, but here are a few I walked by today in Saga (city).

I think I found a new manga series to read.

Funny to see they have a shelf with Manga translated into German at the museum.
(And yes, BL is a popular genre back home 🤣)

Went to the Manga Museum in Kyoto earlier today. They had a small Doujinshi event for the City Subway mascot characters.
Their current exhibition on "Manga and War" was also interesting.

Yes it is. But it is one of the November locations. So you would not have been able to collect the stamp during your stay.
Also typo in my last response: It's Kohata Jinja (許波多神社).

You haven't missed much. This time the locations and character combinations are a bit random.
I hope the stamp for Kowata Jinja is Sari. My guess is 2 of the 3 remaining stamps for December will be Hazuki and Midori.

Can't do the December locations to unlock the photo frame with Kumiko, Reina, Hazuki and Midori, but...

The leaves are starting to turn red on the tree at Delta.
It is a bit too early for Takoyaki, but I picked up some Mochi at Otafukuya for later.
Futaba is still popular. The line there was a bit too long for me.
