Have you heard about the popular hunting action game “Monster Hunter”? This year’s hunting festival (狩祭), “Monster Hunter Festa’15,” which Monster Hunter players “hunters” from across the nation have been hotly anticipating, began in January 2015, starting from Tokyo. In February it was held in Nagoya, Sapporo and Osaka, and finally on March 8th the event will be coming to Fukuoka.

The skilled hunter’s heated battle and the varied exhibition are must-sees!

In the“Rajang Trick Vision” you don’t stand a chance escaping his grip!

The official competitions, the “King of the Hunters Tournament (狩王決定戦), Fukuoka regional competition”and the “Parent-child/Womans Japan’s No.1 Hunter Tournament (親子/女子ハンター日本一決定戦), Fukuoka regional competition),” in which the skilled hunters face each other in head-to-head battle will be held at the “Monster Hunter Festa’15” in Fukuoka.

Also, the “Kushala Daora life-size models” will be on display, with their sheer presence enough to overwhelming the surroundings.
