Maebaru, Itoshima – Walking Tour and Seafood Tasting / / 糸島前原

I’m delighted to have Kazuki Arita as my guest on today’s Kyushu Live walk around Maebaru, Itoshima. Born and raised in Itoshima, Arita-san is a research historian specializing in Itoshima. He’s also a core member of “Jizakana Bank,” a group focused on supporting local fishing village culture – so along the way, we will stop by at least two places to taste some fresh seafood and maybe some sake too!

Here’s some related links – please check them out.

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 to show off and connect Kyushu to the world, even in this small way. Please sit back, relax, and let me do the walking and talking!

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？
そろそろ福岡市内を飛び出して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
