Fukuoka
Japanese southern city
Fukuoka is a major city on the northern coast of Japan's Kyushu island, the country's sixth-largest city and a regional economic hub.
Known for its food culture, particularly tonkotsu ramen, and its proximity to mainland Asia, Fukuoka serves as a gateway between Japan and Korea: We flew into Fukuoka and took the ferry to Busan.
