About Fukuoka

Fukuoka, on the north coast of Kyushu, is a relaxed port city of temples, riverside food stalls and ramen, facing Korea across the sea.

Fukuoka is the biggest city on Kyushu, formed from two old towns, the merchant port of Hakata and the castle town of Fukuoka, on either side of the Naka River. Hakata keeps temples such as Tochoji, with a large wooden seated Buddha, and Shofukuji, said to be Japan's first Zen temple, founded in 1195. The ruins of Fukuoka Castle lie beside Ohori Park, with its large lake and walkways.
