The 10 Best Historic Sites in Fukuoka, Kyushu-Okinawa

Fukuoka is a gourmet paradise... "providing you're not vegetarian," say travelers on our Fukuoka forum! It's right on Genkai Sea, and the seafood is fresh and abundant. So is Fukuoka-style ramen, which you can find at the city's famous yatai (outdoor stalls) as well as modern restaurants. Walk off your meal at Ohori Park and the nearby Fukuoka Castle ruins.

One of 47 original turrets and the main gate are the only remains of this once huge castle, built in the early 1600s.
