Fukuoka, Japan

Music & Arts Tour in Fukuoka

Fukuoka's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the music drifting from open doors, the murals on unexpected walls, and the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that guidebooks overlook. Walking is the only way to find them.

Fukuoka is a relaxed, food-obsessed city on Japan's southern island of Kyushu, famous for its yatai street food stalls along the river and a compact downtown that blends ancient shrines with modern shopping.

Top Music & Arts Tour Spots

•Ohori Park — a park built around a large lake that was once part of Fukuoka Castle's moat, with a jogging path, Japanese garden, and island pavilion
•Canal City Hakata — a massive shopping and entertainment complex built around an artificial canal with fountain shows, five floors of shops, and a theater

Hidden Music & Arts Tour Gems
