Kyushu’s nature and high quality food makes it a premiere destination for people from all over Japan and the world. The warm weather and people make Fukuoka a favored destination for events. Planners love how easy it is to get around the city, and the unique venues that range from a historical sake brewery with plenty of ambiance to outdoor barbecues with fireworks for 500. The airport, convention centers, downtown, and even beaches are located close together within a 10-20 minute radius by car.
