Sobre este lugar: Fukuoka
Fukuoka, la mayor ciudad de Kyushu. Los barrios de ocio Hakata, Tenjin y Nakasu; la cultura del yatai (ramen y udon de Hakata); la bahía de Hakata con la Torre de Fukuoka; cerezos en el Parque Ohori; y playas de la península de Itoshima: ciudad moderna y naturaleza coexisten.
Aspectos destacados
- Nakasu Yatai District — about 40% of all yatai food stalls in Japan (~100 stalls); evening smoke and lanterns epitomize Kyushu nights
- Dazaifu Tenmangu — head shrine to deity-of-learning Sugawara no Michizane; 10 million worshippers annually, plums lining the approach and the vermilion main hall
- Fukuoka Tower (234 m) and Momochi Beach — panorama of Hakata Bay and Seaside Momochi; renowned for sunsets and nightscapes
- Ohori Park — opened 1929 as an urban oasis, with cherry blossoms in early April and skyscrapers reflected upside-down on the pond
- Hakata Dontaku (May) and Hakata Gion Yamakasa (July) — among Japan's largest festivals by attendance, energetic subjects to photograph
