Kitakyushu: Feudalism, festivals and flowers

1 Comment

A feudal castle town turned manufacturing heartland, Kitakyushu is known for its cutting-edge innovations in eco-friendly technology and its lively, unforgettable festivals within Fukuoka Prefecture.

Kitakyushu, the second-largest city in the southern region of Kyushu, is named after its position at the northernmost point of the region. The city was created in 1963 through a merger of five cities; Kokura, Tobata, Yahata, Wakamatsu and Moji. The unique history, traditions, and natural beauty of each city blend together to give Kitakyushu its unique personality.

Here, the locals truly understand the definition of “work hard, play hard!” which makes it a totally memorable trip while in Japan’s sunny southern region.
