Since mid-February, from around the time the holiday for the Chinese New Year started, the city has been bustling and you will have seen a huge number of foreign tourists throughout the city. The number of tourists visiting Japan has doubled and the recent depreciation of the yen is said to have played a major role in this trend. Recently shopping and food are not the only activities visitors have been looking to get their fill of, there has also been a significant number of voices calling for "experience-based tourism."

It's to these people that we want to recommend a course that is taking place in Fukuoka on Saturday 4th April!

In "A Class for Making a Handmade Ring Case using Traditional Japanese Materials," you will learn how to make a ring case using "Hakata Ori" (a traditional local textile)," one of the prides of Fukuoka. And that's not all, for this event, to allow the non-Japanese participants to be able to take part at their own pace, there will be language-support on hand to help with any key issues that might arise. According to the organizer, the event will give foreign visitors, who do not often have the opportunity to interact with Japanese people, the opportunity to mingle with the locals.
