Great food and even better company reign supreme in Fukuoka, the relaxed port town that is at the heart of life on Kyushu, Japan’s third-largest island. The city is one of the fastest growing in Japan and has benefited throughout its history from its proximity to mainland Asia. Fukuoka is an accessible destination, and offers visitors a wealth of culture and several major festivals, including the Hakata Gion Yamakusa and Hakata Dontaku. Also don’t miss the bloom of tunnel of wisterias at Kawachi Fujien garden in nearby Kitakyushu city. Of course Hakata ramen, the namesake ramen that originated in the city’s business district, brings many fans to the city, too.
