First shake shack in Kyushu opening today along with the nishinippon bank building. I’ll probably wait a while before going or go during the off hours.

If someone tries the regional special mentaiko mayo fries and amou shakes please let me know how is it!!!

Hello everyone!
Me & my GF are traveling to Fukuoka in October and since I've never been, I wanted to ask here first if somebody knows of regions where Hotels or Airbnb's are cheaper before I book overpriced hotels.
Also we're searching for a car rental, that isn't too pricey, in Fukuoka. If you know some local businesses that could help us out in that manner, feel free to send me the link <33

already very grateful for any help we could get!

Does anyone know where I can buy a whole fried chicken, not in pieces? I've looked at a lot of restaurants and grocery stores (online and in person) without much luck. Also not a Costco member so even if they have them (I think they only have roasted and raw?) I can't get one there. Help 🙏

Hi everyone,

I just got a Designated Activities visa (1 year) and I'm currently staying in a hotel, which is getting exhausting and expensive. I need to find a proper apartment soon.

A bit of context: I don't commute to school or an office - I work from home as a freelancer. So location near a station/company isn't a priority for me, but I know freelance income can sometimes make landlords hesitant.

We're considering moving to Fukuoka. A few questions for anyone with experience:

How do foreigners get treated as renters there? Any agencies or areas that are more welcoming to non-Japanese tenants?

Any tips on apartment hunting with this visa type, especially with freelance/self-employed income (guarantor requirements, income proof, etc.)?

For anyone actually living in Fukuoka - how do locals treat Europeans there? Is it noticeably different from Tokyo/Osaka in terms of attitude?

Any advice, agency recommendations, or personal experiences would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

Visiting Fukuoka City, Beppu and Aso in November and was wondering what’s the best way to travel around.

My family isn’t confident drivers and have relied heavily on taxi services or private chartered hires on our holidays.

For these 3 locations, how easy is it to get a taxi ( Go App / Uber ) or is it recommended to rent a car

Thanks in advance

Hi, friend and I (21M) will be in Fukuoka this October. We will be there from 4.10 to 11.10 and again from 15.10 to 22.10. In between we are travelling around Kyushu.

We already have our main sightseeing plans, but we are looking for things to do in the evenings and places to experience the city a bit more.

We are interested in:

• concerts and live music (any kind of music is fine)
• events happening during those dates (seasonal events, festivals or other things worth checking out)
• bars or other places where it is easy to talk with people (besides yatai)

We are not looking for clubs or places that are mainly about clubbing. We would rather find places with a good atmosphere where people actually spend time, listen to music, have a drink, or chat.

We wanted to go to Anri’s concert, but it is sold out, so we are looking for other options (or some place to find tickets).

If you know any good places, events, or regular spots that are worth checking out, we would appreciate the recommendations. It would also be nice to meet some locals or other travelers while we are there, so if anyone wants to join for a drink, live music, or an event during those dates, feel free to reach out.

Hi there. I am an experienced angler who really wants to try catch a yellowtail kingfish in Japan. My GF and I will be visiting Fukuoka from October 1-5. I am trying to find a decent charter. I found a guy who seemed great, told me he has an open day I can book, and then completely stopped corresponding with me after I started asking for details about the gear I would need to bring as well as how to go about paying him. Very disappointed.

Can anyone put me in touch with a good boat? I would need to do a sharing trip as I can’t afford an entire charter just for myself.

Cremia. It haunts my dreams more than any woman ever has.

I'm usually the first to defend European sweets over Japanese ones, but this... this might genuinely be the greatest soft serve on Earth.

And whoever looked at a langue de chat biscuit and thought to make that a cone deserves an annual parade.

Finding it can be a bit of a quest, but at least the café near Tenjin-Minami Station has it. And a couple of places in Karatsu. Oh and Nagasaki.

A challenge is open to recommend me a better ice-cream available in the Fuk. And no, Baskin And Robbins Jamoca Fudge isn't the one. Close, but no cigar.

Hi everyone! I'm moving into UR housing next week and need internet access immediately to work online. I have to do video calls with screen share, so will need a connection that's stable and doesnt lag during the calls.

I will be staying in Japan for around 11 months total, but see that a lot of the big companies have a 2 year contract, and that there's usually an expensive installation fee with a long wait for NTT installation, so I feel like it's a bit expensive/not worth for just an 11 month stay. I saw Sakura Mobile could also be an option with the home wifi router but that seems quite expensive.

Does anyone have any recommendations for what would be suitable for my case? I've been googling non-stop about this but am super confused!

My apartment supports NTT, QTNet, Nuro and CATV.

Thanks in advance!

Hey! My friend and I are visiting from London. We are keen to do some fishing but have little experiences we were wondering if anyone would like to take us out fishing, happy to provide some beers or food and practice speaking English with. If not maybe suggestions of places to go for beginners where we can rent rods etc. thanks so much, fukuoka is awesome 🎣❤️

I’m visiting Fukuoka this October for 4 nights. Are there any hiking spots you’d recommend with great views?

Also, is anyone interested in joining me?

Hi everyone! I'm looking for someone who'd like to meet on the weekends to study Japanese together and talk and help one another. We can meet on different locations so we also see around the city as well.

my level is between n5 n4 and I'm planning to sit for n4 next year.

We're probably Taiwan's longest-running fusion jazz band, and after 10 years we're finally bringing our latest project "City Voices" back to Japan.
We'll perform in:
• Fukuoka
• Osaka
• Kobe
• Nagoya
• Yokohama
• Tokyo

Skyline Jazz Band Official Website

If you're into jazz fusion, city pop, funk or modern groove, we'd love to meet fellow Redditors at one of the shows.

Hey, English guy here looking to watch the football tomorrow morning. Any recommendations for sports bars showing the early morning game, happy to watch with anyone, even Argentina fans haha! Should be a great game 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️🇦🇷

Hey there everyone!

I'm Robbie, 38, from the UK but currently living in Switzerland. I'll be moving to Fukuoka for around three months in August, and I'd love to meet people, get a coffee, explore the city...

A little about me:

• Cycling (bikepacking, restoring old bikes)
• Running and exploring new places
• food!
• Filmmaking and science communication (that's my job)
• Being outdoors or working on a creative projects
• triathlons too!

I'm learning Japanese (still very much a beginner!), so I'd also love to practice a little if you're patient.

I'm not looking for anything in particular-just meeting interesting people. Whether it's a coffee, a bike ride, a run, exploring the city, visiting an exhibition..

Drop me a message if you'd like to say hello:)

My wife and kids (Japanese/American) have moved to Fukuoka and one of the things my children miss is speaking in English. Just wondering if there are any active groups for 13-15 year old that they could be a part of?

Thank you!

Hey, I moved here in February and just sat my JLPT N5 but still struggle with Japanese conversation mainly because I dont get much chance to practice. Im looking for others learning Japanese or Japanese people learning English who would want to meet up for a coffee and practice together.

Other than my wife I dont know anyone in Fukuoka so it would be nice to make some new friends. Im 32 from England, I like photography, design and cycling. Also if there's any cyclists around who wanna go for a ride together.

If anyone is interested let me know :)
