Meanwhile, our featured restaurant Minoriwo is good news for vegans, with fresh veggie dishes galore, and in the Dodesho section Mark Cowan talks about the delicate on-road relationship between Fukuoka’s cyclists and drivers. Don’t miss the special Hakata Gion Yamakasa pull out section, featuring route map, transportation times and running order for this year’s festival.
