In Fukuoka, Japan, there are many (and I mean many) cafes and other eatery spots throughout and they are very enjoyable to experience. Manu Coffee is one of those spots where you can chill and listen to some really great music picks. The seating is typical (as with most cool cafes nowadays trying to give customers in a relaxing and "chic" atmosphere, but there's something about this joint that gives it a certain "hip" feeling.

Lastly, I really appreciate the artistic interior and the relaxed background music...
