Fukuoka Countdown Guide 2016-17

What are you doing this New Year’s eve? With the end of the year sneaking up on us, it’s time to make plans! While most Japanese go home to spend time with their families and visit shrines at midnight for hatsumode, countdown events are an increasingly popular way to ring in the New Year. Check out our list for some of Fukuoka’s hottest countdown spots to celebrate the end of the year…



Bayside Place Hakata
Bayside’s countdown party includes live music from special guests including the Beagle Crew (a Fukuokan band) and Fumika, a singer popular for her beautiful voice. There will be a ‘100 girls x 100 boys’ matching event, an Asian-themed night market and much, much more. The New Year will be rung in with a massive fireworks display!
