Beautiful Ladies in Fukuoka

Hi there! Fukuoka, where I live is a gate city of Asia. There are many foreigners walking by in the city. Hakata, Fukuoka is the biggest city of Kyushu island. It is facing the ocean and mountiains, so it’s half big city and half country and people are kind and friendly. I love Fukuoka so much.

皆さん、こんにちは!私が住む九州の福岡はアジアの玄関口で、街を歩けば多くの外国人とすれ違います。博多は九州随一の大都会で街に活気があります。海山に囲まれた博多は半分都会で半分田舎で人々の情も厚く、スレていない優しさを持つ人が多く、本当に大好きな街です。

I teach English conversation to employees and CEOs of enterprises. I give them homework to practice writing every week. And each time they work so hard and write long essays. It even turned out to be so difficult to cope within the class hours. I’m really happy to see them so motivated to learn English. I believe there will be many more people who can communicate in English in Hakata, Fukuoka.

私は博多の企業で社長や社員の方達に英会話を教えているのですが、皆さん宿題の英作文をレッスン時間内にこちらが添削しきれないほど沢山書いてこられます。とてもヤル気に満ちておられ、嬉しい限りです。博多で働く方々の英語熱の高まりを実感します。簡単な意思疎通なら英語で出来る人が、これからはどんどん増えてゆくことでしょう。

こちらは夜の博多駅。

At a square in front of Hakata station, there is a samurai statue holding a big sake goblet. He is Kuroda Kanbei, a feudal lord of Fukuoka who made the foundation of Fukuoka city. He was a genius strategist whose name is carved in the history of Japan.

博多駅前広場には、福岡の街の基礎を作った人物で筑前国福岡藩祖であった、黒田官兵衛が盃を持つ銅像が置かれています。天才軍師として日本史に名を残した人物です。

And in Fukuoka, there is a famous rice cake sweets associated with the genuis feudal lord, Kuroda Kanbei. The confectionery is called Chikushi-Mochi of Jyosui-An and most of Fukuoka people know the little rice cake.

この黒田官兵衛ゆかりの和菓子屋が今でも博多では人気があり、如水庵(じょすいあん)の筑紫もちと言えば福岡で知らない人はいないと思います。

And also, Fukuoka is famous for beauties. You can see many beautiful ladies if you walk around Hakata, Fukuoka. And I think in Tokyo those beauties would belong to show-biz productions, yet in Fukuoka they are working at random shops! Yes, Fukuoka is the best place in Japan. Everybody come visit Hakata, come visit Fukuoka! We are waiting for you!

また、博多と言えば美人の産地として全国的にも有名で、東京ならタレント事務所に所属しているような美人さんが普通に店の売り子をしていたりするのです。という訳で、福岡よかとこ。いっぺん来てみんしゃい!
