Kyūshū can feel a long way off from Tokyo, but for one long weekend, the island comes right to Tokyo’s Yoyogi Park.
What happens?
The Kyūshū Tourism and Products Fair is a four-day celebration of the region’s food, drink, crafts, and culture. There will be steaming bowls of Hakata ramen, skewers of Miyazaki chicken, Fukuoka’s famous mentaiko or spicy cod roe, and enough shōchū varieties to make you wonder if a trip south is overdue (it probably is).
Craft booths will showcase Kyūshū’s distinct local wares, from pottery to textiles.
The fair also features a reconstruction support corner, spotlighting disaster-affected areas and rebuilding efforts.
