If you're a meat lover, the Shokuniku Festival in Fukuoka is an event you shouldn't miss. Billed as the largest meat-based event in all of Kyushu, the festival is set to include a variety of delicious dishes that attendees can try.
You can scope out the menu ahead of time on the official event website, which includes Nagasaki wagyu beef bowls, Matsusaka beef burgers, and even beef tongue skewers.
Please note that, as per their site's Frequently Asked Questions, the event is cashless—payments for any food or drink items will need to be done with electronic money cards.
Getting there
The event takes place at Asano Shiokaze Park, which is located under 5 minutes on foot from Kokura Station. The station is served by several lines, including the San'yō Shinkansen, the Kagoshima Main Line, the Nippō Main Line, and the Kokura Line.
