Cowabunga! Winter is the best time to catch waves on this side of Kyushu so we’ve prepared a guide on everything you need to know to enjoy surfing in Fukuoka. Slip on a wetsuit, like this month’s cover model, Martine Strøm Thomassen, and get out there! Our snapshot page has a little of everything for everyone: including a report on the re-opening of the Ohori Boathouse, a Strawberry Picking Guide, a day trip at the Kujukushima Pearl Sea Resort and a report on a Zazen Class. Our gourmet report explores local delicacies with a report on the delicious Ganso Hakata Mentai. This month’s interview is with Ollie Horn, the man and comic talent who has single handedly started up a regular live English language comedy scene in Fukuoka. We also have information on various St. Patrick’s Day events, so you’ll know where to show off your green threads and enjoy a pint of smooth Guinness. Pick up a hard copy of Fukuoka Now at all the usual spots or download the PDF. Even more goodies are waiting for you on the Fukuoka Now website!
