 About Fukuoka...


   
  Due to it's proximity to mainland Asia, Fukuoka has been a 'gateway to southern Japan' for a long while. In fact this city is closer to Seoul than it is to Tokyo
Places to visit:
  • Tenjin - The cities commercial and shopping district. All the usual department stores and upmarket boutiques can be found.
  • Nakasu - An island on the Nakagawa river full of bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Possibly too expensive for some and a little too seedy for others.
  • Momochi - Futuristic in appearance, this area on the waterfront accomodates the 'Fukuoka Tower' on top of which one can enjoy a view of the city. There is also the Hawks Town shopping complex and Fukuoka Dome which is home to the "Fukuoka Softbanks Hawks" baseball team.
