Go strawberry picking with your sweetheart (or friends and family!) using our Strawberry Picking Guide. This month we also introduce 12 of Fukuoka's inexpensive hostels in our Hostel Guide, we take a rest and enjoy the atmosphere and food at the Bus Stop Cafe in Hakata, and we hear from Ali Khan (UK) in his opinion piece "The Spirit of Japan". If you've never been to Genko Borui in Imazu (Nishi-ku), now is the time to read up on its historical importance - next month we'll take you on a walking tour there! Meanwhile, we chat to local rapper Roro (US) who is getting ready to perform “Doesn’t Mean I’m Lost” at the Valentine’s Party on Feb. 14 at Hotel With the Style. We'll see you there for a night to remember - details on the back cover!
