Celebrate Haruyoshi, one of Fukuoka’s most vibrant and architecturally diverse areas! At this event, there will be stage events and booths offering delicious food and drinks. There are two main venues: Sun Selco and Denki Building. Head to Sun Selco on May 14 (Sat.) for “Year! On the Haruyoshi!”, a concert featuring many different artists, or visit on May 15 (Sun.) to catch the “6th Haruyoshi Teppan Battle”: at this gourmet contest, chefs from various restaurants serve up tasty dishes they cook on hot iron plates, all in hopes of winning the money prize. Visitors pay ¥500 to sample a dish and vote for the best dish. Stop by Denki Building on either day to see various performances by local artists. In the run up to the event (May 7 (Sat.) ~ May 13 (Fri.)) there will be a sake-hopping event at 20 different bars and eateries in the area. Sake-hoppers receive a sake cup, pouch and stamp sheet and collect stamps at each participating venue they enjoy a cup of sake at – collect stamps to receive prizes.
