I live in Yahatahigashi, Japan.

八幡にはスペースワールドと皿倉山以外は何もありません。毎年11月に起業祭が開かれるだけです。
Kitakyushu, Kyushu's northernmost city and an international city with a million people, borders on the main island of Japan across the Kanmon Strait.
Kitakyushu is near the Asian countries, and particularly because it is conveniently located on the straight line connecting Tokyo and Shanghai, has been blessed with prosperity as a gateway to Asia and as an industrial base in Japan.
Today, Kitakyushu is advancing diverse activities under the key word 'internationalization' on the basis of the fundamental plan of the 'Kitakyushu Renaissance,' whose basic concept is 'Toward Becoming an International and Technological City with Waterfront, Green Environment and Human Contact.'
Kitakyushu, an international, industrial and trade city with a population of one million, was established in February 1963 by the equal-basis amalgamation of five cities: Moji, Kokura, Wakamatsu, Yahata and Tobata.
In around 1600, the Kitakyushu Area was spotlighted for the first time in history. Kokura Castle was constructed during that time and the area subsequently prospered as a castle town becoming the center of governmental and commercial activities in Kyushu.
The Meiji government, formed in the latter half of the 19th century, noted the geographic advantages of the Kitakyushu area which had prospered as a key junction of marine and land traffic since olden times. In addition to the development of commerce, railroad lines and port facilities were rapidly constructed in the area; the City has since developed as one of the most important distribution bases in Japan.
Moreover, regarding the industrial aspect, Kitakyushu comprises one of the four largest industrial zones as an industrial base contributing to the manufacturing abilities of Japan, through the aggregation of such material industries as the steel, chemical, metal and ceramic industries, which began when the government-managed Yahata Steelworks, the largest steelworks in Asia, which was founded in 1901. Today, automobile-related industries are being established in this city one after another.
In addition, along with changes in the industrial structure in recent years, high-technology industries including industrial robots, IC-related products and biotechnologies are being generated in this area while some new regional movements are under way toward the advancement and diversification of regional industries such as joint research through cooperation of business, academic and governmental circles and development of new products by an interprofessional group.

パラグライダーがとてもカラフルできれいです。最近はパラグライ­ダー国際選手権も無く、少し寂しいです。

八幡も宇宙から見ればちっちゃな町ですが、九州旅行の際はぜひ、­お立ち寄りください。
