Fukuoka, right now

Fukuoka is located very close to Korea. It is a mecca for family trips and is also hugely popular for couple trips. The temperature is similar to Korea, making it a very convenient travel destination for travelers. It has very distinct four seasons, so there are plenty of things to enjoy in each season.

Spring is a beautiful season when flowers bloom in Fukuoka! There is a big cherry blossom festival where you can see cherry blossoms with a deeper color shade compared to Korean cherry blossoms. Also, the largest festival in Fukuoka, the Hakata Dontaku Festival, is held on May 3rd and 4th!

In summer, while it is somewhat humid and hot, there are many festivals during this period. If you want to experience festivals, I definitely recommend visiting in summer!

In fall, the weather becomes cool and comfortable for traveling, just like in Korea. The fall foliage is beautifully colored, making it a great season for family trips.

Winter is mild compared to Korea, making it a good season for hot spring trips. You know Japanese hot springs are a must-try experience, right? During the biggest winter festival Akari Yoshi, the streets of Fukuoka are lit up with beautiful lights, creating a fantastic atmosphere!

With its distinct four seasons and many festivals, don't you want to visit Fukuoka? I invite you all to Fukuoka.
