Kukuoka Castle
Fukuoka's castle is in ruins, but it is still a favourite spot
for tourists to congregate (mainly for the view). Built by the
feudal lord in days of old, it was composed of 47 turrets of
various sizes. Today the Otemon gate, Tamon turret and a few walls
remain.
Information & Facts
Language
Japanese is the official language. Most Japanese people
will have studied English at school, but few can speak it well or
understand what is said to them.
Money
The currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY), which is equal to 100
sen. Major credit cards are accepted in the larger hotels and
stores, but most Japanese operate with cash. Cash and travellers
cheques can be exchanged in banks, post offices and currency
exchange bureaux. Banks are usually open Monday to Friday 9am to
3pm. Travellers cheques offer the best exchange rate and are best
taken in US dollars. ATMs do not accept all credit and debit cards;
only the international ATMs in post offices, airports and some
major stores.
