February feels like the coldest month of the year, but it’s also the best month to pick and enjoy strawberries – and yes – we have a guide to some of the best spots near Fukuoka! We also outline a day trip to Yame and a tour of the Chikugo region. Find our recommended spots on your own or join us on the Fukuoka Now bus tours. Then we introduce the historic Mietsu Naval Dock in Saga Prefecture. Learn about its key role in the modernization of Japan. There’s a wonderful museum and other attractions nearby. February is also when many sake breweries open to the public to celebrate the sale of the new year’s rice wine. Read our detailed guide to the Jojima Sake Festival & Brewery Hopping event – and don’t miss the fun! This month’s restaurant pick is Number Shot (izakaya), the cafe is Lulu (gallery & sweets), the noodle shop is Ringer Hut – Hashimoto (custom-order champon and deli), and the bar is Ibizarte (Spanish bar). Be sure to check out all of our event listings too!
