Japan
Fukuoka
Fukuoka is Japan's ramen capital and the country's most livable big city — warm, southern, and underrated.
Fukuoka is Kyushu's easy-going hub — birthplace of tonkotsu ramen and home to yatai street stalls along the river. It's warmer, slower, and friendlier than Tokyo; eat at a yatai at night.
