Fukuoka City Museum
Website

The Fukuoka City Museum is located in the Momochihama area of Fukuoka City, Japan. It houses lots of interesting historical artifacts from Fukuoka’s past. I highly recommend stopping by and checking it out. I would only dedicate a couple hours or half a day to the museum, since a whole day there would be a waste. Luckily, there are several other good places to visit in the area such as Fukuoka Tower, Momochi Beach, Fukuoka Dome, Fukuoka Library, etc. While you are at the Museum the most important thing to check out is the “Gold Seal” (Kin-in) or “Gold Stamp”. The Gold Seal was discovered in 1784. If I remember correctly the importance of the seal, besides that fact that it’s made of gold and is old, is that it was the first recognition of Japan as a country by China. My facts might be a little off but if you visit the museum you can get the full story. Of course there are also a lot of other cool and interesting things in the museum from Fukuoka’s past.
