Fukuoka at a glance
The city of Fukuoka, also known as Hakata, is not only the center of administration and economy in Japan's Kyushu region but is also a terminal for air routes and railroads. The Hakata Dontaku is a colorful port festival held in summer each year. Highlighted by a parade of children in traditional dress, men and women in fancy costume, and "te-odori" dancing (dancing with nothing in hand), this event draws more than 580 groups and about 31,000 citizens, and is viewed by more than 2 million spectators.
