Send Flowers to Fukuoka, Japan

Closer to Seoul than to Tokyo, Fukuoka has always looked outward, and today it is one of the youngest and fastest-growing cities in Japan. Start-ups, universities and a lively food culture draw people from across Kyushu and from abroad, so many orders we receive are for students, young couples and newly transferred staff.

The city has two centres with different characters. Hakata, on the east bank of the Naka River, is the old merchant town, with the Shinkansen station, business hotels and offices. Tenjin, to the west, is the shopping and nightlife district. Residential areas stretch out to Ohori Park, the seaside towers of Momochi and the leafy streets of Sawara and Minami wards. The airport is only minutes from the centre, which helps local florists receive fresh stock quickly.

May brings the Hakata Dontaku parade and July the Hakata Gion Yamakasa, when teams race enormous floats through the streets at dawn. Flowers sent around those proud local dates are warmly received. To send flowers to Fukuoka, order before midnight Japan time and delivery takes place the next day, Monday to Saturday. Same-day delivery is not available, and nothing is delivered on Sundays or national holidays. The climate is mild in winter and humid in summer, with a rainy season in June and early July that suits hydrangeas beautifully.
