Fukuoka Dome
The Fukuoka Dome (officially known as the Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome) is home to the city's baseball team, the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks. Though showing its age now, the stadium was the first in Japan to sport a retractable roof. It also boasts the world's longest bar, The Big Life, a 188-metre counter overlooking the pitch, though it's marred by a rather tacky row of themed service outlets and game machines.
