Fukuoka declares bid to host G7 summit in 2023

As much as Fukuoka could use the attention, I honestly wish these events would stop -- their only purpose seems to be to give the National Police Agency an opportunity to waste taxpayer money and block off roads and hassle people on the street in places as far away as Sapporo and Tokyo.

Well, it would be a lot different from always going through Tokyo.

enough already with international events!
