Fukuoka Cycling [Bike is Life] Fukuoka "Hakata" Ride
[Bicycle trip that traces the history of Fukuoka]
Hakata, the oldest port in Japan, prospered as a commercial port in the Middle Ages, and was a transit point for envoys to the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, and Fukuoka Castle, built by Nagamasa Kuroda and his father Josui on the opposite bank of the Naka River in the town of Hakata. "Fukuoka" is the castle town.
Along with a guide, you can experience the expansion of the city and the changes in history that can only be experienced by bicycle in the two polar cities of Hakata and Fukuoka, merchant towns and castle towns.
