About Hakata-Fukuoka
Hakata Port serves Fukuoka, the largest city in Kyushu. It has long been Japan's gateway to the Korean Peninsula and China, about 200 km from Busan and 900 km from Shanghai, and handles more international sea passengers than any other Japanese port.
Fukuoka is a compact city with easy access from the port: visitors come for historic temples and shrines, shopping at Canal City Hakata, the 234 m Fukuoka Tower, and its famous food, above all Hakata tonkotsu ramen. Ohori Park and the Yanagibashi market are also worth a visit.
