It’s February, which means love and plum blossoms are in bloom! Enjoy viewing gorgeous plum trees and pray for better relationships - romantic or otherwise - at Kamado Jinja Shrine, our recommended spot this month. It’s always time for tea at Atmosphere Chiran Saryo, a gourmet tea shop and eatery which is our cafe pick for Feb. Winter winds are blowing, so warm your stomach with Konotori’s toripaitan ramen - it’s wonderfully thick and piping hot. In the mood to go upmarket? Enjoy Wagyu beef grilled in front of your eyes by expert chefs at Teppanyaki Mitaki. Budding entrepreneurs should read our feature on Fukuoka’s new Startup Visa. And - as always - we’ve got the city bulletin and all the hottest events for you, including our Valentine’s Party on Feb. 12! A chocolate fountain, chocolate art, delicious food & drink, plus live music - this international party is not to be missed.
