Spring

The highlights of Fukuoka in spring are cherry blossoms and Hakata-dong Drum and Harbor Festival!

Fukuoka has many good places to watch cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom from late March to early April. You can enjoy the wine and taste the delicious food while enjoying the cherry blossoms. Even at night, there will be a bustling crowd enjoying night sakura! Specially recommended places to enjoy flowers are Maihe Park and West Park.

It takes about 2 minutes by boat from the city center to reach Nenggu Island, which is close to the sea and outlines the unique and beautiful scenery of Japan together with the blooming cherry blossoms and rape flowers. In May each year, Fukuoka's representative Hakata Drumming Harbor Festival is held. Activities can be seen everywhere in Fukuoka City.

In particular, the drumming team dressed in various costumes, beating gongs and drums, marched on the street in a majestic way. Don't miss it! At the end, the audience will also participate in it and dance with everyone. During each activity, it will attract more than 2 million tourists from all over the country, which is quite popular in Japan.

Summer

Hakata _ Yuanshanli, which is worth boasting all over the world, is an essential festival in Fukuoka in summer. In the middle of the night from July 1 to July 14, luxuriously decorated decorative mountains more than 1 meters high can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Photographs are welcome.

In the mountain chase held in the early morning of July 15th, men in short-sleeved traditional costumes were running at full speed in the street with a ton of mountain on their shoulders. The spectacular scene shocked the audience.

In summer, fireworks festivals are held everywhere, and people wearing summer kimonos or Japanese bathrobes are bustling.

The beer garden on the roof of the building is the most popular place to watch fireworks. Drinking some cold beer with delicious food is even more delicious.

The beaches and sea sports on Fukuoka Beach are also fun!

Autumn

As soon as the release ceremony of Fukuoka _ Sakamoto Shrine was held, it meant that Fukuoka ushered in a new autumn. The Asian Month and Hakata Qiubo held from September to November can be called Fukuoka's autumn scenery poems.

All kinds of activities make you feel the charm of Asian culture. Celebrations with strong traditional culture can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of Hakata area and temples and shrines, bringing you feelings of Japan.

To appreciate the natural scenery, we recommend the following scenic spots: the cosmos on Nenggu Island in Hakata Bay, Youquan Pavilion in Japanese garden, and the beautiful scenery of red and yellow maple leaves in Leshui Garden. Beginning in mid-November in late autumn, the Kyushu Sumo Competition was held for 15 consecutive days.

It's a rare opportunity to witness the Japanese sumo wrestling! Welcome to Fukuoka and enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery and festivals in Japan.

In winter

Fukuoka, located in Kyushu, the southern tip of Japan, looks warm, but it snows sometimes because of the cold wind blowing in the Sea of Japan.

During the period from late November to Christmas, Starlight Glimmer's neon lights are flashing around Fukuoka's Shenshen area, which is filled with the festive atmosphere of Christmas! In the first month of the year (from January 1 to January 3), people came to the shrine to pay homage to the New Year in order to pray for a happy New Year.

For example, the Kikuoda Shrine, the Sukeyoshi Shrine and the Sakamoto Shrine will all welcome many visitors and be very lively. Welcome to visit and participate.

From January 2nd, shopping facilities in downtown business districts such as Shenjin and Bodo Station began to hold big New Year rewards or sales promotions. All kinds of goods, mainly fashion clothes, are lower than usual prices, which is the most cost-effective season for consumption and shopping in a year.

The 1th Huibishu Festival held in January refers to the activities that businessmen visit Huibishu Shrine on the 1th to pray for a prosperous business in the New Year. In February, I visited the Ketian Shrine, or prayed at Dongchang Temple, and the vernal equinox conveyed the message of the arrival of spring. No matter which festival celebration is very Japanese, welcome to participate in the experience!

Well, please collect the information about these activities. With so many rich activities, I believe you can have a good trip to Fukuoka, Japan!
