Fukuoka Travel Tips
Fukuoka (福岡) is the vibrant heart of Kyushu and one of Japan's ten most populated cities. With its strategic location closer to the Asian mainland than Tokyo, Fukuoka has been a significant harbor city for centuries, serving as the landing point for the Mongol invasion forces in the 13th century. Today, this dynamic city beautifully blends its rich history with modernity, offering visitors a unique cultural experience.
Formed in 1889 from the merger of the port city Hakata and the former castle town of Fukuoka, the city now buzzes with life. Hakata, a central district, is not only known for its bustling railway station but also for its delicious cuisine, including the famous tonkotsu ramen. Explore the charming streets, historical sites, and vibrant markets that reflect Fukuoka's rich heritage and lively spirit.
