The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

At the entrance to nearly every park, there are these gate-like structures.

They are set in order to keep out those who are not allowed to enter the park.  You have to walk along meandering path created by these structures

which block your way to the park if you are on motorbike, with a big dog, or in a wheal chair.

They prevent me to get in the park, too. It’s not just once I and my bike got caught in this obstructer, though bicycles are allowed in.

Do I have a twisted mind to think that even parks refuse me because I haven’t paid enough tax? The City Hall doesn’t seem to count cigarette tax I pay to them (around JPY6/ a cigarette).
