Fukuoka is one of Japan’s most fascinating cities. Known worldwide for its food culture, it’s also beloved for its warm, laid-back atmosphere and beautiful natural setting, with several beaches just a short distance from the city center. Feel Fukuoka 2026 is a free afternoon event in Roppongi that offers a taste of that energy — and a look at why Fukuoka and western Japan are increasingly on the radar of people who travel well.
Beyond being a destination in its own right, Fukuoka is also a convenient hub for exploring western Japan. The event introduces the West Japan Golden Route, a travel concept connecting Fukuoka, Itoshima, Saga and Nagasaki, designed for travelers looking for deep and memorable experiences.
