I’ve been out of town touring the Kyushu countryside for the last nine days and unfortunately I couldn’t find either the time or internet access to livestream. Now that I’m back I rather suddenly decided to share a morning walk from Kego to Hakata. While this episode doesn’t have a particular destination, theme, or guest, I hope you’ll still enjoy it. I’m looking forward to catching up with you in the live chat or comments!

FAQ
Who are you?
Nick Szasz, a Canadian who has lived in Japan for about 35 years. Thirty-one years in Fukuoka, three in Tokyo and one in Osaka. I’m the founder and publisher of Fukuoka Now magazine, a monthly printed bilingual magazine about Fukuoka and Kyushu for international residents and visitors from overseas. Fukuoka Now magazine: https://issuu.com/fukuokanow and Fukuoka Now website https://www.fukuoka-now.com/ – I live in Itoshima – and post about that here: http://www.itoshima-now.com/
Why are you doing this?
I love Kyushu, walking, and cameras, so this seemed like a perfect combination and fun. I hope that even in this small way, I can show off and connect Kyushu to the world. Sit back, relax, and let me do the walking and talking.
Support appreciated!
Since January 1, 2021 I’ve posted 56 episodes. I’d like to continue but it takes time, so if you can afford to support this please visit my Patreon page https://www.patreon.com/kyushulive and help me to keep this going. Super chats and Super stickers appreciated too!
I reply to all the comments, so leave one and let me know what you like or don’t. Please “like” the videos, as that makes them appear elsewhere on YouTube and “ring” the bell to get notified of upcoming episodes.

主宰者について
日本在住35年、カナダ出身のニック・サーズ。大阪、東京での生活を経て、福岡に居を構えて31年。国際人向け多言語メディア『Fukuoka Now』を1998年に創業し、現在に至る。
この企画の動機
20年以上にわたって印刷媒体を月刊誌として発行してきたが、ビデオも媒体の一つとして取り組みことにした。大好きな九州をカメラ片手に散策することは楽しそうだしね。福岡・九州はまだ、海外での認知度は低いけれど、規模は小さくても世界への発信ができればと考えてる。作り込んだビデオではないから、ゆっくりリラックスして楽しんで。
Kyushu Liveでの計画は?
まだまだ手探り状態だけど、福岡市内を撮ったら九州一円に広げていきたいと思っている。PATREON(ファンがクリエイターを直接支援できるサービス)でも登録しているので応援してね!https://www.patreon.com/kyushulive

Thanks for your sharing!you did a great job!
Not bad for an unplanned ramble! Thanks to everyone who joined us live and for the generous Super Chats – 藤本民 , Warren vonトロント, and Emiko! Here's links to the 2 cafes I visited – both are highly recommended: Tagsta (Gallery) https://www.fukuoka-now.com/en/food/espresso-stand-tagsta/ and Kamakiri Coffee: https://www.fukuoka-now.com/en/food/kamakiri-coffee/
perfect walk !merci !
Rain! So refreshing 🤩🤩
Thanks for another grand tour of Fukuoka. We were unable to join live, but just watched the YouTube iteration. Looked like a real challenge, what with the rain and diversity of venue. We found the section in Sumiyoshi Shrine of special interest. Though, as you said, you'd need a specialist guide to do it justice. Many of the views within the Shrine precincts look much as they did 60 years ago. がんばって。。。。。
