As always, this month’s issue is free, and because we know our readers appreciate free stuff, we’ve compiled a list of 30 Free Things To Do in Fukuoka. If you know of more free things please let us know and we’ll add it to our website. On our snapshot page, we have a report on ‘Citizen’s Appreciation Day at Nagahama Fish Market, where you can observe tuna auctions and participate in fish-filleting classes. February is action-packed with many events including Fukuoka Now’s very own Valentine’s Party which this year features entertainment by Drag Queens and Go Go Boys. This month’s interview is with Ardit Como, a professional balloon and face painting artist from Albania and we have an exclusive interview with Fukuoka’s Mayor Soichiro Takashima. In the gourmet feature we checked out Ikkokudo, an izakaya-style restaurant in Kiyokawa. Pick up a hard copy of Fukuoka Now at all the usual spots or download the PDF. For even more goodies waiting for you on the Fukuoka Now website!
