About Fukuoka Japan-Australia Society
Fukuoka is located in the southwest part of Japan and has been the nation’s portal for exchanges with other countries since ancient times.
The success of the “Asia-Pacific Exposition” held in Fukuoka in 1989 helped to promote its reputation as an international city both at home and abroad. Following this event, direct flights between Fukuoka and Sydney were initiated in October 1989, so that more attention to the various exchanges with Australia has been raised in Fukuoka. The FUKUOKA JAPAN-AUSTRALIA SOCIETY was established on September 28th 1990, to foster these organized activities in an atmosphere of friendliness and mutual interest.
