Boat Race Fukuoka – Special event for tourists and international residents!
2017 May 13 (Sat.) 13:00~16:30 at Boat Race Fukuoka (15 minute walk from Tenjin Sta.)

This is a rare opportunity to learn about and experience Boat Race. It’s a highly competitive sport in which small but high-powered speed boats race around a water track. Spectators cheer on from the stands and also place wagers on the races. It’s one of the few legal gambling activities in Japan. An English speaking guide will be on hand to explain everything to you throughout the event.

It’s definitely an unique slice of modern culture!

At this event, money is only required if you want to place some bets. Otherwise it is free of charge!
