Brief Description

When you think of Japan, you probably think of futuristic toilets, sushi, and Tokyo. But it's much more than you could possibly imagine. Hakata is located in Fukuoka, one of the regions in the Kyushu region (and island) of Japan. This is among the southernmost parts of the country, which means that it's a lot warmer and differs significantly from the other areas in Japan. A long-kept secret of the locals, Hakata will surprise you with its charming views and mouth-watering food.  

While you're in Hakata, you must try the famous Hakata ramen - a filling meal where you get a savory soup made of pork bones, meat, and thin noodles with a firm texture. Locals from all over the country travel to Hakata just for its ramen, which is a pretty good indicator of just how much you need to try it. The Yatai food stalls are yet another food destination that should be on your bucket list for Hakata. This night market offers the very best of Kyushu's delicious cuisine, regardless of your food preferences. The best part is that it is pretty healthy too!  

Hakata is also famous for its top-notch breweries, which produce and sell incredibly tasty and fresh beer and sake. The city has a lot more to it than just food as well. Its relaxing waterfront walks are popular spots for dates, while its many intricate and traditional temples take you back to Japan's pre-modern times.
