| Hakata is the most vibrant district in Fukuoka City, the largest city in Fukuoka Prefecture. It is also the largest city in Kyushu - the southernmost of Japan's four main islands, and the fifth largest city in Japan. With its proximity to both the Korean Peninsula and China, it has a long international geopolitical history. It is a key business and transport hub. Fukuoka Airport - just ten minutes by car from the city center -- is a gateway to Asia, with flights to Seoul taking just one hour. Hakata Station boasts Shinkansen bullet trains to Tokyo in just five hours, 2.5 hours to Osaka, and buses to motor coach stations all over Japan! Every year, two major festivals -- the Hakata Dontaku and the Hakata Gion Yamakasa, are held, attracting millions of visitors. Hakata is the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen, a favorite of ramen fans from around the world. You can't talk about Hakata without trying this ramen, which is characterized by its rich flavor and aroma. |
