Welcome to Fukuoka!
Whether you’ve arrived by air, rail, or sea, the Now Map is your indispensable guide to the city. Crafted by Fukuoka Now’s seasoned team, this map is the culmination of years of local exploration, designed to showcase the best of Fukuoka to our international visitors.
Our mission is simple: to enrich your Fukuoka experience. The Now Map is more than a map; it’s a tool for discovery, tailored for English speakers by long-term, non-Japanese residents.
Overview
Spanning from Meinohama in the west to Hakozaki in the east, and from Hakata Port in the north to Minami-koen in the south, the Now Map offers a comprehensive view of the city at a glance. Plan your day with ease, visiting landmarks and local favorites such as Shofukuji and Ohori Park.
Detail
Flip the map for a detailed view of key areas like Tenjin, Kawabata, and Hakata, perfect for exploring the city’s bustling centers.
Convenience Meets Practicality
While expansive when unfolded, the Now Map tucks away into your pocket with ease. Unlike a smartphone, it’s always on, always available, and no data charges apply. Scribble notes, chart your journey, and keep it as a memento of your travels.
