An ancient and key point of exchange between Japan and the rest of Asia.
- A cradle of culture.
Fukuoka is situated in the northern extremity of Kyushu, Fukuoka facing Suho-nada (the Sea of Suho) to the northeast, Genkai-nada (the Sea of Genkai) to the northwest and Ariake-kai (the Sea of Ariake) to the Southwest. As the prefecture neighbors the Korean Peninsula to the continent of China with a strait in between, it was the first place to touch the continental culture in Japan. Ever since the Government-General of Kyushu was set up in the place known as Dazaifu in the 7th century, Fukuoka has grown as the hub of the Kyushu region.

How to go to The Korean Consulate

From the Airport
Get on the subway - take it to the brown vase stop - Tojin Machi (9th stop from the airport) it's right after Ohori Koen(a park).

From Tojin Machi, leave by the first exit (1) it says Korean Consulate on it. Walk towards the traffic light after walking straight out of the exit. There turn right and go straight for about 10 minutes. You'll have to cross over to the other side of the street. The consulate has a Korean style roof and a Korean Flag. The area is really close to the Fukuoka Dome.

From the Ferry
Take a bus to Tenjin ( the 80 on the 84) but it should say Tenjin. then change buses, and take a bus to the Fukuoka dome.
