Fukuoka Prefecture

Fukuoka Prefecture runs from the Genkai Sea on Kyushu’s north coast to the Ariake Sea in the south, encompassing dense urban plains, island-dotted shores and wooded interior hills. It is a major centre of northern Kyushu: Fukuoka City developed around the old merchant port of Hakata, while Kitakyushu stands by the Kanmon Strait between Kyushu and Honshu. The Chikugo River reaches the Ariake Sea through the prefecture’s south, and the Itoshima coast opens west of the city. Dazaifu Tenmangu, dedicated to the scholar and statesman Sugawara no Michizane, reflects the area’s long political and religious importance.
