This month’s cover shows our featured spot, Bayside Hakata, lit up prettily at night, but it’s also a great place to take the kids during the day (travel up the 100 m tall Hakata Port Tower for free!). Our cafe pick, Jab, is beloved by local jazz fans, and boasts a killer sound system plus 100s of vinyl records. October’s noodle recommendation is Bunryu, which serves up a surprisingly light tonkotsu ramen; and our gourmet segment focuses on Aji no Masafuku, a favorite of locals for home-style teishoku (set meals). October events include the not-to-be-missed Saga International Balloon Fiesta, and there’s a sneak peek of what’s in-store at Nippon Now!, our next big party taking place at JR Hakata City on Nov. 3, a public holiday. Katsura Sunshine, the one and only non-Japanese professional rakugo (traditional Japanese comic storyteller), is the headlining act, but there’s lots more! Read all of this, plus the city bulletin here on the site or download the PDF.
