Things to do in Fukuoka
Japan·334 bookable experiences
Fukuoka is the friendliest big city in Japan and the easiest to eat in: the riverside yatai food stalls are a genuine local habit rather than a tourist set piece. It is also the doorway to Kyushu — Beppu's hot springs, Nagasaki, and the shrines at Dazaifu are all day trips.
