The largest city on Kyūshū, the southernmost of Japan's main islands. Closer to Seoul than to Tokyo, with a markedly different feel - warmer, more casual, exceptional street food. The Kokusai Center sits on the Hakata Bay waterfront, ten minutes from the central Hakata station.

Near the arena
Local specialties
  • Hakata ramen↗博多ラーメン - World-famous tonkotsu - the rich, milky pork-bone broth from this very city.
  • Motsunabe↗もつ鍋 - Offal hotpot with cabbage and garlic chives. Hearty winter food.
  • Mentaiko↗明太子 - Spicy marinated cod roe. Locals put it on everything.
  • Hakata gyoza↗博多餃子 - Smaller and crispier than Tokyo or Chinese versions - eaten by the dozen.
  • Mizutaki↗水炊き - Light chicken hotpot, the Hakata winter classic.
Getting there: 10-minute walk from Gofukumachi Station, or 15 minutes from Hakata Station.
