A Fukuoka yatai evening with travelers from the US and Australia
On October 24, 2026, a yatai outing in Fukuoka’s Tenjin area brought together a duo from the US and a solo traveler from Australia. The group explored Fukuoka’s food scene, shared local eats, and enjoyed conversations together.

The host thanked everyone for bringing such fun energy. It’s a small but lovely picture of travel in Fukuoka—food gives people a starting point, and conversation gives them a chance to get to know one another.
