<\/p>\nMarking its 10th anniversary in 2026, this festival introduces visitors to Taiwan\u2019s night market culture through food and a festive atmosphere. Inspired by Taiwan\u2019s largest annual celebration, Lunar New Year, and the Tainan Lantern Festival, it takes place at the West Fureai Square of Fukuoka City Hall Fureai Hiroba.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The venue features classic night market dishes such as fried spring rolls, pan-fried xiaolongbao, mee sua noodles, and oversized fried chicken cutlets (da ji pai). Regionally inspired offerings are also planned, including a \u201cTainan Set\u201d combining danzai noodles and spring rolls, along with drinks made using fruit from Tainan. Taiwanese-style massage and souvenir booths selling items such as Taiwanese tea offer opportunities to experience Taiwanese culture beyond food. Lantern decorations fill the venue, creating a vibrant Lunar New Year atmosphere after sunset. Admission is free; payment is cash only.<\/p>\n
