The Fukuoka Taxi Association has published a guidebook to increase taxi drivers’ knowledge of Fukuoka’s tourist spots. The book, which is A5 size, with color photos, is great quality so that it can be used by taxi drivers and passengers alike! Around 1,600 taxi drivers will carry the guide book, which introduces 6 recommended tourist routes, along with useful info and history about tourist sights, restaurants, souvenirs and interesting Hakata trivia. The idea is that a passenger can flip through the book and ask the driver to take them to different spots. Source: Nishinippon Shimbun 9/27 http://www.nishinippon.co.jp/nnp/item/326132
