Now Map – The Best Free Multilingual Map for Fukuoka City
You’ve landed in Fukuoka, either at the airport, or just gotten off the Bullet Train at Hakata Station, or perhaps you arrived by ship at Hakata Port. Now where? That’s when you’ll find your first friend in Fukuoka, “Now Map”.
It’s a trilingual (English, Korean and Chinese) free map of Fukuoka City. Designed by non-Japanese longtime residents of Fukuoka and it presents Fukuoka in way that is easy and convenient to visitors from overseas.
The Big Picture
On one side and in one glance we show almost the entire city from Meinohama in the West to Hakozaki in the East, from Hakata Port in the North to Minami-koen in the South. It’s easy for visitors to plan their whole day including for example, visits to Shofukuji, Rakusuein, Asahi Beer Factory, Hirao Sanso, Imaizumi, Nagahama, Ohori Park, Momochi, Meinohama, Nokonoshima, Uminonakamichi and more.
The Details
The other side of Now Map gives an enlarged view of the central shopping and entertainment areas of Tenjin, Kawabata, and Hakata.
Convenient & Useful
