A bystander had to call the police after spotting around 20 men exposing themselves at a local beach. Yeah, that&#8217;s right\u2014half of these guys were totally naked, and the other half were wearing nothing but garter belts. And here&#8217;s the kicker: by the time the police got there, everyone had vanished.<\/p>\n<p>People in the community are definitely rattled. One resident said it&#8217;s not just shocking but actually scary. Another wondered aloud why they were naked now that summer&#8217;s over. <\/p>\n<p>But get this: one local claimed that he&#8217;s seen groups of naked men at the coast for about 20 years. These guys apparently hustle to put on underwear if someone walks by. So, it&#8217;s not a one-time stunt; it&#8217;s an ongoing mystery.<\/p>\n<p>The police are taking this seriously. They&#8217;re investigating it as a case of potential public indecency and even think the beach may serve as a sort of &#8220;meeting place&#8221; for these bizarre gatherings. This story is far from over, folks. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yotemira.tnc.co.jp\/news\/articles\/NID2023092519060\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TNC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_20-naked-men-in-koga-city-screenshot_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka Grapples with Beachside Nudity Incident\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-156942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_20-naked-men-in-koga-city-screenshot_2023_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_20-naked-men-in-koga-city-screenshot_2023_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_20-naked-men-in-koga-city-screenshot_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/fnn_20-naked-men-in-koga-city-screenshot_2023_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
