Fukuoka is the largest city on the island of Kyushu and the fifth-largest city in Japan, home to approximately 1.6 million residents. Like all of Japan, it operates on Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9), a fixed year-round offset. Fukuoka holds the distinction of being the closest major Japanese city to the Asian continent — Seoul is just 547 km away, and Fukuoka has historically been Japan's 'gateway to Asia.' The city has one of Japan's youngest average populations and is frequently ranked Japan's most liveable city. Fukuoka is internationally renowned for its food culture — particularly Hakata ramen (tonkotsu pork bone broth), Hakata-style motsu nabe (offal hot pot), and mentaiko (spicy pollock roe). Yatai street food stalls along the Nakasu River are beloved dining institutions. The ruins of Korokan, a diplomatic guesthouse from the 8th century for receiving foreign envoys, were discovered beneath a baseball stadium. Fukuoka was one of two Japanese cities targeted by Mongol invasions in 1274 and 1281.
