A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Fukuoka stands as the capital of Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan and is recognized as the largest city on Kyushu Island. This makes it an advantageous starting point for those wishing to explore Kyushu, which attracts numerous domestic tourists, but comparatively fewer international visitors.
Unlike the sensory overload of Japan’s larger cities, Fukuoka has managed to cultivate a different, lower-key kind of allure. The city puts its renowned easygoing character on full display. Fukuoka surprises and delights from the start with its dreamy six-minute subway commute from the airport direct to downtown, where modern conveniences abound—without the huge crowds.
Located at the tip of northern Kyūshū, friendly and sunny Fukuoka has a coastal location on a bustling trading route that has historically made it a popular choice to visit in Japan.
