Castle tourism in Fukuoka Prefecture

Fukuoka, the gateway to Kyushu and Asia, has been a commercial city bustling with trade since ancient times. Hakata is home to Tenjin and Nakasu food stalls and commercial facilities, and is crowded with many domestic and international tourists. It is also attractive that you can enjoy historical spots from a wide range of eras, such as Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, Fukuoka Castle built by Kuroda Nagamasa, and Moji Port, where buildings with a retro atmosphere remain. Don't miss World Heritage Sites such as Munakata Taisha Shrine, the ``Munakata Island, Okinoshima Island, and related heritage sites,'' as well as the Miike Coal Mine, Miike Port, and the government-run Yawata Steel Works, which supported the modernization of the Meiji era.
