Fukuoka is the smallest of a place. The current figures to bring the public the 5 million mark, with the city of some 1.3 million people. With this amount of people, you know, there must be something to do. Every weekday, if you look can find something that interests you. Often, there are festivals in one area or another in the city of Fukuoka. With a little help from a friend or the domestic foreigner magizines and information centers arelocated outside, where the festivals are celebrated.
Must be the center of the city of Fukuoka Tenjin (although others may say that this is Hakata). And 'refuge purchaser of the prefecture. I feel I need to do some 'shopping for some brands mentioned by the beautiful Italy or France? Head on over to Tenjin. They want to blow off some steam and a bar (including foreigner bars)? Tenjin is the place to be. I want to make new friends? Rainbow Plaza in. .. You guessed it, Tenjin, is the place to dothis.
Right next to Tenjin Nakasu is. Nakasu hosts the nightlife, but tend to respond to rich people. However, Nakasu also has a huge shopping mall called Canal City that so many businesses would not be able to count them all. The complex includes several restaurants, two hotels, a large cinema and in the middle of Canal City is an area called Sun where it is common to see street performers do their acts Plaza.
Of course, Tenjin and Nakasunot the only place you can have fun. I live about 10 minutes from Tenjin subway in a town called Nishijin and I can almost as many things here that I can in Tenjin. Bowling, swimming, soccer, billiards, game centers, and even a cinema are just some of the things Nishijin and the area has to offer.
Yahoo Dome (formerly Fukuoka Dome) is located in Momochi, the sea boarders. Yahoo Dome hosts the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks. The Hawks are a strongBaseball team, loved the city and its inhabitants. In fact, there are only two teams in Japan professional baseball league, which attracts over one million fans for their home games for years and the Hawks are one of them. If the Hawks still have a game at home, can the practices of other times in the Cathedral. Yahoo Dome also markets and concerts throughout the year.
Food, food, food!
For me, Fukuoka is the best food in all types of offerJapan (though I'm in Sapporo food is very good). Fukuoka has a well-known dishes and, of course, the chefs here are probably found in the new situation for justice in the world.
Yatai When night begins to fall on the city of Fukuoka and are suddenly a lot of street vendors, small scale (usually taken over by his truck operations) appear all over the sidewalks. These suppliers to meet a variety of foods from ramen to yakiniku of tempura. Yatais themselves are really a sitesee.
Hard Rock Cafe Fukuoka on occasions when I miss American food and Mexican, I can always head on over to near the Hard Rock Cafe Fukuoka Dome in Momochi. Momochi is adjacent to Nishijin so yes, I am in luck. Hard Rock Cafe Fukuoka boasts the largest restaurant of its kind in Japan. The food is fantastic and, of course, the atmosphere is like any other Hard Rock Cafes out there. The staff is very friendly and often their establishment oftenwell handled occasional use.
Izakaya Though not only found in Fukuoka, Izakaya restaurants deserve a notable speech. Izakayas offer a wide selection of foods and beverages in particular at a reasonable price. Students and business people can find in these restaurants, chatting with colleagues and to drink, a storm. All Izakayas offer a different atmosphere, and with some research, see the situation that suits you.

Travel
Because in contrast to the nickname of New York, Fukuoka tend to be a bit 'tired at night, but usually only very late, especially on weekends. One reason for this in my humble opinion, is the transportation shutdown at midnight. Thats right, the subway, rail and bus system, but all the stations againMeet the clock. Leaves, fatigue and most of the time, drunk, you can take a taxi home, walk, and I've also heard the "I want to stay only until the subway starts again at 6:00, prior to Go Online" Home will be those who are celebrating just is not ready when his time for the final invitation of the transport system. This is not just a special event for the arrest Fukuoka in Japan.
Although the arrest of the transport system at times inadequate, perhaps, this is not awonderful system. Perfectly clean trains, buses and subways (which are amazingly quiet) are the result of the closure, because they are clean all the early morning hours.
