July 2014 Fukuoka Now
Summer is here and the living is easy… really easy here in Fukuoka! In this month’s issue – and in greater detail on the Fukuoka Now website we cover a lot. On the cover is Amy Houck from Pennsylvania (USA). The shot was taken on Niginohama Beach in Itoshima, just one of 18 fabulous beaches in our updated guide to local beaches. Fireworks are another intergral part of the Japanese summer experience and BANG! – we have detailed guide to ten recommended fireworks festivals and a less-detailed list of 15 more options. Speaking of festivals, Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival is Fukuoka’s most famous. We’ve got a guide to that too, complete with an overview of the history, a map of the routes, and tips for watching it live. This is required reading for anyone planning to attend. What’s SUP Fukuoka? you ask? – the latest marine sports craze has arrived in Fukuoka and we introduce three places to learn how to enjoy stand up paddle boarding (SUP). Summer also means it’s time of parties and we have that info too, including the huge beach DJ event “Power Fes 2014” on July 21, and Fukuoka Now’s annual “Summer Party” at the gorgeous Hotel With The Style on July 25. So much to do, so much to see,,,, it’s going to be a great summer in Fukuoka!
