Even the locals don't know about Tachiarai Heiwa Kinenkan, a tiny memorial museum established by ex-aviators and residents ofTachiarai, a small village set in farmland 40 minutes from Fukuoka.

yeah, lonelyplanet maybe right. The locals don't know this little place

The amagi tetsudo is not JR, so you need to pay the fee when you get off the train, because the little train operated by 1 guy. You need to pick a ticket when you get on, the number is on the ticket, so you can figure out how much you need to pay. But From kiyama to Tachiarai is 330 yen anyway(June, 2007).
This little museum has an aircraft. The cost is 500 yen. You can also get there by Nishitetsu line from Tenjin or Yakuin station. But JR is cheaper, if you have JR pass. IMG_3536.jpg
IMG_3549.jpg There is also KIRIN BEER FARM, it takes about 20 minutes walk from the museum. But it is nice walk before the lunch. They have a brewery tour (except monday and new year's days), need to make a reservation in advance.(0946(23)2132).

So, After lunch, what are you going to do? Going to Yanagawa? or Going to Dazaifu?
Both place are on the Nishitetsu line. So you need to back to Ogori station by Amagi tetsudou.
Which is about 16 minutes for 280yen.
