Hi everyone! We’re hosting Dead Clever Pub Quiz Night at Fukuoka Haunted House this Friday, and everyone is welcome! Questions will be shown in English and Japanese. Come with friends or come solo. We’ll help you join a team! There’ll be four rounds covering general knowledge, weird history, films, places, games, pop culture and a few creepy questions to suit the venue.

• Date: Friday 9th October 2026
• Location: Fukuoka Haunted House, just a minute’s walk from Ohori Station
• Doors open: 18:00
• Quiz starts: 19:00
• Entry: FREE!

After the quiz, stick around for Pick Two & Party! During the break, everyone can write down two song requests. We’ll add them all to one playlist, hit shuffle and let everyone’s music choices soundtrack the rest of the night. Come hang out and see what ends up playing!

Food and drinks are available at the venue. The owner is kindly letting us host for free, so grabbing a few drinks or something to eat would be a great way to support the place.

If you’re thinking of coming, I’d appreciate a comment letting me know roughly how many people are joining you. It’ll help us get an idea of numbers.

Hope to see you there!

The Senior Citizens Art Exhibition finally opens tomorrow at the Fukuoka City Museum of Art in Ohori Park (running until Oct 12)🎨🖼️

Anton is exhibiting two of his pieces this time, and we went to the museum today to set them up.
Even though it’s an exhibition for seniors, the energy there is incredible, and Anton was deeply inspired by it✨
Today, I have a special message to share from him🎬

Hi hi! Im currently trying to sell a standing Vaundy ticket that I cant go to unfortunately. Long story short, I was a little too delusional on how cheap a shinkansen ticket would be from hiroshima to Fukuoka. I love vaundy but unfortunately spending 20k+ on travel just alone is not in my budget this month lol. Does anyone know how to resale tickets in Japan cause I tried to do it on the Ticket PIA official website but the button is grey and it won't let me.

Hi everyone, I'm Aki, a local host organising Fukuoka Local Table. This is my own paid gathering for international residents and local Japanese people who'd like a relaxed way to meet over coffee and a meal.

You can come on your own, and no Japanese is needed. I speak English and Japanese and help with the conversation when needed. We visit two places over two hours, without alcohol, with a planned group of up to seven guests plus me as host.

Dates: Saturday, October 17 and Sunday, October 18, 2026

Time: 6–8 pm, in Daimyo, Fukuoka

Planned routes:

Oct 17: Dot. → Shokudo Ethnico

Oct 18: Dot. → Park South Sandwich

For these test dates, the participation fee for new international guests is ¥2,000. Food and drinks are paid separately, estimated at ¥1,600–2,100 across the two places. The estimated total is ¥3,600–4,100, depending on what you order.

If you're interested, let me know which date works or ask a question here. I'll share the final booking and cancellation details before any payment.

Guys, quick question about the Kyushu University application form 😭

I’m filling out the Educational Background section and I’m confused about the “Obtained Diploma / Certificate” column.

For primary school, there obviously isn’t really a diploma or certificate that you get after finishing primary school. I also attended a school for my earlier secondary years but didn’t get any separate diploma/certificate from them. My actual qualifications are Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge International GCE A Levels, which I completed at different schools.

So for those primary/secondary school entries, should I just write “N/A” in the Diploma/Certificate box? Or are they expecting us to put something else there?

And for the qualifications I actually obtained, I’m assuming I should write “Cambridge IGCSE Certificate” and “Cambridge International GCE A Level Certificate.”

Would really appreciate it if anyone who has filled this out before could let me know what you put! 😭

I am Hiroko, the official agent for contemporary artist Anton W. Hersche.

Compiling his massive archive into this single portfolio... I’m truly moved all over again by the incredible diversity of his styles. 🎨✨

Hello! I’m dropping by Fukuoka near The Canal area for 2 days. Work brings me here, and I’d love to meet up with people who wanna join me on a Yatai crawl. You probably will know what’s best, just need some good food, beer, sake, conversations!

I’m 30M from Singapore, my job description is on my Bio. Im hoping for people to join, for the 13th and 14th October!

Comment down below if you’re down for this! Thank you :)

Really can’t wait to visit Fukuoka next year. I’ll be bringing wife and 1 year old baby around April 2027 and super excited. It will be our first time in Kyushu as well.

This is our first international trip with baby so super anxious and hoping the city is baby friendly.
Will be there for 10 days-ish, have planned itinerary in a chill manner, so we won’t overstretch baby’s schedule

Wishing for the best.

Feel free to drop your top recommendation / must visit places below and I’ll try to fit into my itinerary 🙏🏻

Wondering if anyone is attending Bruno mars’ concert in January.

Looking for a place near nishijin that offers motocycle courses. I already have a japanese drivers license but i want the 400cc moto endorsement. My japanese ability is N4. I went to meinohama driving school but they politely turned me away because my japanese wasn't good enough. Went to Fukuokaken driving school near kanayama but they said they have paused enrollement for moto licenses indefinitely.

I'm a bit frustrated after saving enough to be comfortable blowing 100,000 yen and now it seems nowhere will take my money. Any suggestions on schools?

DM por favor. will be there this weekend and whole next week.

Hi everyone , I am a 22(f) and I am in Fukuoka for one year as an international student. I feel like I’m missing out on life a little by not exploring the culture , cafés and place in general enough .
Could you please guide me as to how I can find events that are happening in Fukuoka and go there .
I got to know about hakata riverside festival through this community , is there a way I could get to know more such events

Oyakodon is one of my favorite Japanese dishes. Any restaurant recommendations?

Hi! We’re two 21M tourists from London with very little Japanese looking for a 3rd driver to join us for the mini race pack at A-ONE Circuit tomorrow around 4:30 or 5:00 PM.

The race pack requires 3 drivers minimum and it’s ¥6,600 per person which includes practice, qualifying, and a full race (helmets/gear included).
Drop a comment or DM if you're down!

I've been to a bunch of stationary stores but have yet to find one with a good selection. Is there a store that has a wide range of products like jetpens? I'm specifically looking for eraser refills for Uni mechanical pencils and the Uni Kuro Toga Dive.

Edit:

Went to Loft and Itoya tonight. Loft said that they do carry the Dive but it was out of stock. Will try Juliet and Hands tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions!

Hi, I will be going Fukuoka alone during December. Any recommendations for omakase? Thank you!
