Fukuoka Prefecture
Fukuoka is a prefecture on Japan's main island of Kyushu whose capital, Fukuoka city, was formed from a castle town. Edo-period fortress ruins can still be seen among Maizuru Park's cherry blossoms. Modern-day Fukuoka is also known for its elaborate float races during Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival, and for its open-air food stalls, or yatai, selling specialties such as yakitori chicken skewers.
