You\u2019ll be able to find Santa taxis driving around the center of Fukuoka until Dec. 25. There are seven taxis with Christmas artwork on the side and all are driven by drivers dressed as Santa. The service was launched at a ceremony at Kushida Jinja Shrine, where participants prayed for safety while driving. Each taxi has a lucky Hakata Santa doll under the bonnet. A limited number of customers will receive special Christmas special presents. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/daiichi.ksg\/\" target=\"_blank\">Daiichi Kotsu Sangyo<\/a>, Nov. 30, 2016<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-93853\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/santa-1024x683.jpg?resize=1024%2C683\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/santa.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/santa.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/santa.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/santa.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/daiichi.ksg\/photos\/pcb.1195287700550813\/1195284540551129\/?type=3&amp;theater\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n<em><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong>: Fukuoka Now posts summaries of Kyushu area related news for the benefit of those who cannot read Japanese.
