I get asked about Fukuoka a lot, so I decided to talk a bit about it... I kind of lost track of where I was going near the end though. Sorry about that. It's been kind of hard to focus on making videos lately, I wasn't going to post anything, but I think that posting SOMETHING will help me get out of this slump, and I can work hard on improving quality of my videos next time.. or something... Iduuuunnoooo.
How are you today? :)

So i thank you very very very much you have motivated me like no one else has. Cheers from Florida!

I was thinking about going to Fukuoka, because I know YUI grew up there, and when I saw a program about her going back to visit her home town, I felt the beeches looked very pretty, which really made me want to go there.

My interest in the city over the past year was sort of rekindled due to a variety of reasons, and yours video was the icing on the cake. :) Keep up the awesome videos!

Very good post, it is nice to hear someone else voice this about Japan. Just like Canada and the US there are many different cities and not one of them is the end and the beginning of the place. Few people would ever think to say "New York City is the best place for you to live in the US" or instantly think of NYC when you mention the US, but so many people when thinking of Japan think only of Tokyo. Tokyo is just one small part of a very diverse nation, and every town has its own character~

「なぜFUKUOKA？」の答えは、日本人であっても、外国人であっても一度でも福岡で暮らした人なら感覚的にわかるね。特に、その後、福岡を離れて他の都市で暮らすと福岡の良さが身に染みて解る。。。「低価格の食べ物でも美味しいから」「新鮮な魚が食べられるから」「コンパクトで便利な都市だから」「山笠という盛大な祭りがあるから」「人情味溢れる街だから」「海と山と川という自然と近い都市だから」「夜遅くまで出歩ける安全な街だから」「ゴミが少なく街が清潔だから」「女の子のファッションがハイセンスでしかもカワイイから」「山笠みたいな男の祭りが有ってバンカラなのに、 “Girly-girl” Cultureが花咲くカワイイ街だから」・・・。多分そのどれも正解。ミカエラさんも、『東京のミカエラ』でもなく、『大阪のミカエラ』でもなく、【福岡（博多）のミカエラ】だから成功したんだと思うね。ああ、博多に戻りたい。。。

I've only had the opportunity to Japan once while on a short break from teaching in Korea. Took a ferry from Busan and stayed in Fukuoka for 5 days. I'll never forget the city. Probably due to the fact that I spent the first night roaming the streets on foot without a single yen in my pocket. Don't ask, why it happened! From the ferry harbor, to Tenjin to the redlight in Nakasu to Canal City in Hakata...got to see a lot that way. Ah, memories... I love that city!

Great video! I hope to visit that area of Japan, especially Nagasaki. Last time I went in 2012 (in addition to Tokyo, Kyoto & Nara) we went to Kochi on Shikoku Island. It was awesome. Very laid-back place compared to Tokyo. Even in the major tourist centres its fun getting off the beaten path.

Great Video! Growing up in Colorado where their main industry is tourism I also tend to go to places where the majority of people don't normally go. I find more interesting people and places off of the main pathway. In my view living in Japan where you are is better...less crowded, in many cases some things are less expensive, with fewer "Gotcha" moments commonly found in larger cities.

Thanks for making this video. I am just starting to look at places to visit in Japan that are not always the obvious destination for visitors. Just as it is anywhere else in the world, lifetimes can be spent in amazing corners away the obvious destinations. Local food from small vendors / restaurants, access to some cultural resources, places of visual interest for hobbyist level photography and reasonable room rates are key for me.

Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka are so big & so crowded! During my visits to Japan, I enjoyed my stay at a tiny village the most - Yamakoshi village, Nagaoka, Niigata prefecture. I spent all my life living in a tiny city (about 1 square mile) in the middle east. Regardless, I'll have to adapt to living in Tokyo soon enough, since I'm supposed to start my postgraduate studies at Tokyo University in October!

So many of the jvloggers live outside of the major cities like Tokyo that it makes it interesting when then go out around their towns and films real life in Japan.

Between your words, shots of Fukuoka and Kat's singing, this made me feel a bit more inspired and better about that time in the future. THANKS!

Well Kurume City in Fukuoka was where Bridgestone tires originated from. Fukuoka itself is known for tonkotsu ramen, our baseball team, the Softbank Hawks was #1 in Japan last season, Fukuoka itself is said to be one of the oldest cities in Japan because of it's proximity to China and Korea, and famous musicians like Ayumi Hamasaki, Shiina Ringo, and Yui all came from Fukuoka. ^^
