Since 2016, the Hakata Wharf area of Fukuoka City has been developing a town development plan that integrates the bustle of the area. The MICEs (Convention Centers) zone and the port area where cruise ships arrive are called the waterfront district. Tourist facilities such as Bayside Place Hakata and Hakata International Terminal are located in this area.
Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall B and A are the core facilities of Kyushu’s largest complex convention zone, consisting of five facilities: the Fukuoka International Congress Center, the Fukuoka Kokusai Center, and the Fukuoka Sunpalace.
This waterfront area has a concentration of MICE facilities and serves as a gateway to the sea for domestic and international regular passenger ships and cruise ships, making it an area with high potential for many visitors from Japan and abroad.
As a growth engine that drives the growth of Fukuoka City, the functions of this district have been strengthened. It is also attracting attention as a zone that attracts private facilities by making use of the district’s characteristics and ability to attract customers, and creates a bustling and relaxing space centered on the seaside space.
