Wow! The Boathouse in Ohori park has re-

opened and it’s even better than ever. On the

ground floor is the casual Royal Garden Cafe,

while on the second floor is the famous fine

dining French restaurant Hananoki, where

Marilyn Monroe dined during her honeymoon

trip to Japan. There’s a Pinkberry frozen yo-

gurt shop and paddle boat rental too. More

info and photos online!

Fukuoka is famous for succulent and sweet

strawberries - but did you know there are

many pick-your-own farms? We’ve compiled a

detailed guide to 13 recommended farms near

Fukuoka City. It's berry berry fun!

Every two months, the Myoho-ji Temple

hosts a free, foreigner-friendly meditation

class that allows a rare insight into the heart

of an active temple and an introduction to

the art of zazen. Two reporters from Fukuo-

ka went to the last session and filed their

report online.

Follow the trail of our youngest reporters

as they report on a fun-filled day trip to the

Sasebo area. They visited an aquarium, en-

joyed an oyster barbecue and took a relaxing

cruise through the picturesque Kujukushima

(99 Islands) bay. Read their report online.

eponymous Hakata Men-

taiju—a piece of kom-

bu-wrapped mentaiko

served over white rice

topped with nori sea-

weed, all seasoned with

a special sauce. Feeling

hungry? Then order a

large (two pieces of men-

taiko) or an extra large

(three pieces). If you or-

der more than one piece

of mentaiko, you can

choose your method of

preparation: raw, grilled

or fried a la tempura. (We highly recommend

the tempura.) You may also want to try the

Mentai tsuke-men, a delicious dish of noodles

with mentaiko and a sauce made from stewed

veggies. According to the chef, this dish has

a rich yet mild flavor that even those who

claim not to like mentaiko can enjoy. And if

you want a double dose of Hakata, the shop

also serves a mentaiko-infused motsunabe.

Ollie Horn moved to Fukuoka in September but has

already made his mark on the local nightlife, found-

ing Comedy Fukuoka and running his first monthly

comedy night in January. Ollie began performing

stand-up while studying at Oxford University, using material he

had written on his year abroad in Paris to kickstart his comedy

career in student bars and as a member of the world famous

Oxford Revue. Since then he has gained experience in Paris

and across Asia, performing regularly on the stand-up com-

edy circuit in Hong Kong. While he acknowledges there is still

a long way to go to cement Comedy Fukuoka into the regular

fabric of Fukuoka life, the first iteration of Comedy Fukuoka -

showcasing the talents of Hong Kong comedian Nick Milnes as

well as those of five complete beginners - proved a huge suc-

cess and provides a strong foundation for future shows. Here,

Fukuoka Now catches up with Ollie after a sold-out show to

talk about life as a comedian and his hopes for the future of

standup comedy in Fukuoka.

昨年 9 月に福岡に引っ越してきたばかりのオリー・ホーンは、

「コメディフクオカ」を立ち上げ福岡のナイトライフに新旋風を巻き起こしている。今年 1 月に 1 回目となるマンス

リーコメディーナイトを成功させたばかりのオリーが漫才を始めたのはオックスフォード大在学中だ。世界的にも有名なコメディーサークル「オックスフォード・レビュー」のメンバーとして、パリ留学中に作ったネタを学生バーなどで披露しながら、香港のスタンドアップコメディーサーキットへのレギュラー出演など、アジアやパリで経験を積んできた。福岡に「コメディフクオカ」を定着させるのは容易でないと認めつつも、漫才師として香港で活躍中のニック・ミルンズはじめ、5 名の漫才ビギナーたちで福岡での初舞台を成功させたことは、今後の自信に繋がったに違いない。満員御礼でイベントを終えたばかりのオリーに、フクオカ・ナウが漫才師としての彼の生活や、コメディフクオカのこれからについてなどを直撃質問！インタビュー全文（英語）はオンラインを見てね。

As an island nation, Japan certainly has its fair share of splendid coastline. Resi-

dents of Fukuoka are blessed with beautiful beaches on their doorsteps, and

Kyushu’s relatively mild climate makes it possible to enjoy the water all year

round. And, while the beach-side facilities may not be everything you’d expect

back home, Fukuoka and Kyushu have much to offer surfers of all levels.

FUKUOKA STYLEWhile Fukuoka’s waves can’t really be deemed

world-class, they can be ideal for the begin-

ner-intermediate surfer while still offering

plenty for the more experienced. Surfing can

generally be enjoyed year round in Fukuoka,

however the main season is from autumn to

spring. With strong winds in the Sea of Japan,

winter brings fairly consistent waves, but the

typhoon season can bring some of the best surf

while the weather and water are still warm. In

general, the waves are mellow, rolling beach

breaks without any real natural hazards. How-

ever, windows of favourable conditions tend to

be small, with decent swells usually expect-

ed after strong NE winds. The key to getting

the most out of surfing in Fukuoka is keeping

a close eye on weather reports and making

the most of each opportunity when the time

comes. Those who just want to wander down

to the beach for a weekend surf every now and

then may be disappointed, but a little planning

goes a long way!

UNIQUE TO JAPAN• Getting great waves in Japan is often a mat-

ter of fortuitous timing. The typhoons that

work their way up from the south can bring

world-class waves, but being in the right place

at the right time takes some luck.

• Japanese surfers tend to be less talkative in

the water than you may expect in other coun-

tries. It is quite rare to even get a greeting de-

spite seeing the same faces in the water all the

time. This treatment seems to extend to other

Japanese surfers as well as foreigners, so don’t

let this offend you or stop you from saying hello.

• Many surf spots in Japan, including all the

main areas in Fukuoka, lack any public facili-

ties such as toilets, showers or even parking.

Some local surf shops or restaurants fill the

gap, providing hot water showers or parking

spots, albeit at a price. As such, most surfers

bring their own water for rinsing the salt off, as

well as a tub to keep your gear out of the mud

in the absence of paved parking. The plastic

water container and tub are a ubiquitous part

of Japanese surf culture.

GUIDE TO IN FUKUOKASurfing


SURF POINTS NEARFUKUOKA CITY Itoshima 糸島, Keya 芥屋 Consistency and capacity makes this wide

beach break the main point for many Fukuo-

ka surfers. This open NW-facing section of

coast picks up swells better than most points

in the area, but is also susceptible to onshore

winds. Strong currents and rips can accom-

pany bigger days so check carefully before

heading out. Keep heading further up the

beach away from the car park if you want to

avoid the crowd on busy days. Depending on

the conditions, Keya can accommodate for all

levels of surfing from beginner to advanced.

Itoshima 糸島, Nogita 野北This partially-protected bay is located a short

drive north along the coast from Keya. The

small mountain on the right side provides

some shelter from northerly winds, which

makes it a good choice when Keya is blown

out. While the waves are usually smaller than

Keya, the rocks on the left hand side provide

a more regular point break, which makes this

break a favourite for goofy-footed surfers

and longboarders alike. Nogita’s waves are

also well suited to beginners, which makes it

one of the more accident-prone points in the

area. The bottom is mostly sand, with markers

on the beach indicating an area where rocks

may be submerged depending on the tide.

Itoshima 糸島, Oguchi 大口A similar beach break to Keya, with an addi-

tional point break on the rocks to the right. The

point can get crowded but the middle and left

can provide some decent waves and a good

alternative to Keya, particularly for beginners.

Itoshima 糸島, Futamigaura 二見浦A scenic break within sight of Itoshima’s fa-

mous landmark. With a small bay providing

some protection from northerly winds, Futami

is a good choice on windy days. At its best af-

ter strong northeasterly winds. Sometimes a

right-hander breaks on the rocks at the top of

the bay, but the sand-bottomed middle sec-

tion is more common. When conditions are

good the local crowd is usually out in force,

and beginners are better off heading to Nogita

or other points.

Higashi-ku 福岡市東区, Mitoma 三苫While the size is a step down from Keya, Mi-

toma is a great option on the city’s east side.

It consistently picks up swells while being

relatively sheltered from the northerly winds.

On good days the outside connects to an in-

side section for some longer rides. The long

beach can also accommodate a decent crowd,

and easy access by train makes it perfect for

those without a car.
