The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks are set to celebrate their 2018 Japan Series victory in style with a parade through Tenjin. The 2017 parade saw 360,000 fans gather along the route, and a similar number is expected this time around. Manager Kimiyasu Kudo will join big name stars such as Seiichi Uchikawa and Takuya Kai, MVP of the four-game victory over the Hiroshima Carp. Convertibles and open top buses will transport the stars along a 2.3 km route that will start at the Toi-dori intersection (near the Fukuoka Tokyo Kaijo Nichido Bldg. on Meiji-dori Ave.) and will end at the Heiwa intersection (near the Dentsu Fukuoka Bldg.). Please be aware that vehicles will be prevented from entering sections of Watanabe-dori Ave., Meiji-dori Ave., and other parts of central Tenjin from 10:30 to 12:00 on the day of the parade.
