Thank you to all those who participated in the #FukuokaOitaMemories campaign between October 2023 and February 2024. We received over 3,000 posts sharing your fantastic memories of Fukuoka and Oita, so we’ve decided to hold the contest again for another round of Fukuoka and Oita charm!

This time, the campaign will be called #FukuokaOitaGems, and we want you to share lesser-known spots in Fukuoka and Oita that you’ve visited not covered in guidebooks with the themes ①Adventure, ②Tours, and ③Hidden Gems. Get posting to Instagram with the campaign hashtag to join!

By taking part, you have the chance to win amazing prizes like the JR KYUSHU RAIL PASS (Northern Kyushu PASS 3Days).
