About
Fukuoka(福岡)
I am frequently traveling from Kumamoto-Fukuoka and vise-versa. Fukuoka is located in the northern part of Kyushu Island. Fukuoka is the largest populated city of Kyushu and one of the most Livable city in the world according to the survey of Monocle Magazine. The best part about Fukuoka is regarding the Fukuoka Airport which is just 15 min away from the down town of the city.
Fukuoka is developing very fast and"it attracts many foreigners as an investor, because of international exchange events, many international flights connectivity, and night life in Nakasu Kawabata. That's the reason Fukuoka knows as "Mini Tokyo". Hakata, Tenjin, Momochihama are the most popular spots for shopping, complexes and restaurants.
