Fukuoka
Fukuoka, in northern Kyushu, is the gateway to the region. Its capital, Fukuoka City, is Kyushu's largest and buzzes with energy. It abounds in food—tonkotsu (pork-bone) Hakata ramen, mentaiko, and motsu-nabe hot pot—and open-air food stalls line the streets at night. The Dazaifu Tenmangu shrine, dedicated to the deity of learning, is also famous.
