Transport
Unlike the nickname of New York, Fukuoka tends to get a little tired at night, but usually not until late into the night to get especially on weekends. One reason for this in my humble opinion is the transportation shutdown at midnight. Thatâ € ™ s true, subway, train and bus system, but stopped after all the pressure on the AM. Leaves the weary and, more often than not, both under the influence of a taxi home, walk, or that I even heard “I’m just to keep the subway starts again at 6:00 before I go home” rule used by those who not only finished partying when the time for the last call that the transportation system. This is not only specific Fukuoka to shutdown occurred in all regions of Japan.
Although transport system shutdown is not possible at convenient times, it is a remarkable system. Perfectly clean trains, buses and the subway (which is incredibly cool) is a consequence of the elimination, for they are all cleaned during the early morning hours.
