The bus tour, a collaborative effort by Fukuoka and Oita Prefectures along with the JR Group, showcases regional culinary delights and activities. On this inaugural tour, 20 individuals from within the prefecture and neighboring Kumamoto embarked from JR Hakata Station to the Chikuhou region. Highlights included a relaxed outdoor experience by a campfire in Kama City and a visit to the historic former residence of Denemon Ito in Iizuka City. With 50 different itineraries available, the tour aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of Fukuoka\u2019s diverse attractions. Bookings can be made through a dedicated website, with hopes by local tourism officials to encourage a thorough exploration of Fukuoka&#8217;s many offerings. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20240411\/5010024018.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/yoka-bus-fukuoka.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yoka Bus<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-162300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_yokabus_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1272&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Inaugural Monitor Tour of &quot;Yoka Bus&quot; Explores Kyushu's Attractions\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_yokabus_2024_cl.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_yokabus_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=300%2C273&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_yokabus_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=1024%2C930&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_yokabus_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=768%2C698&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo from Yoka Bus official facebook<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
