Fukuoka and its environs have been one of the most important hubs of interaction
and communication in East Asia since prehistoric times, and are very rich
in archaeological/historical heritage. The Kyushu National Museum (http://www.kyuhaku.jp/) and the Yoshinogari National Historical Park (http://www.yoshinogari.jp/) well exemplify this, and they will be included in pre/post-congress excursion
programs.
