What to do in Fukuoka when it rains
Fukuoka has plenty under cover when the skies open — historic interiors, art collections, sheltered markets and cafés made for a slow afternoon.
Museums
Spend a few hours in the city's museums — many are free, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to take your time.
Art galleries
Duck into the art galleries; they're quiet, warm and rarely busier than on a wet day.
