Fukuoka

Fukuoka on the island of Kyushu is an excellent choice for those who want to experience a large Japanese city without the hassle of a metropolis. Because of its proximity to mainland Asia (it is closer to Seoul than Tokyo), Fukuoka has been an important port city for centuries. Visit in the spring to see blooming azaleas and camellias, or come in the fall for the fiery foliage of Japanese maples.
