spreading the

word about

the ILC and its

significance

a ro u n d t h e

greater region.

In the very

least, we need

the people of

Fukuoka to get

excited about

this project.

I  would definitely like to deepen the residents’

understanding of this endeavor. It is important

to let people who might live and work at the

ILC know just how safe and livable this area

is. Fukuoka is a great place to live and a great

place to visit. Researchers, after all, are peo-

ple who have to live somewhere, and I think,

no matter how world-class they may be, they

will only accomplish great things if they enjoy

and feel safe where they live. I hope your read-

ers will keep telling people what great places

Fukuoka and Kyushu are.

ILC’s Potential for FukuokaFukuoka Now speaks with the Governor of Fukuoka Prefecture

Fukuoka Now’s Editor-in-Chief, Nick Szasz met with Hiroshi Ogawa, Governor of Fu-

kuoka Prefecture to learn about the bid for the next International Linear Collider

(ILC), a cutting-edge particle accelerator to be constructed in the Sefuri Mountains

on the border of Fukuoka and Saga Prefectures. Given its scale, the ILC is estimated

to have an economic ripple effect of ¥1.1 trillion, and there are other benefits. Here's part of

their conversation. Read the full text online.

“Let’s Bring the ILC to Kyushu” is collecting signatures in an effort to raise awareness

of the ILC. The group is a member of the Kyushu Committee for the ILC Asia, a public-private committee established to attract the ILC to the Sefuri Mountains. Visit their website to sign the online petition (http://ilc-kyushu.com/).

Full interview (Eng. & Jap.) >> fukuoka-now.com/ilc-interview

Fukuoka Now: In simple terms, what

is the ILC?

Governor Ogawa: The ILC (Interna-

tional Linear Collider) is one of the

three major projects of the century,

on par with the International Space

Station and ITER (International Ther-

monuclear Experimental Reactor).

Particles will be collided at near-

ly the speed of light in a 30~50km-

long chamber located 100m under-

ground in an attempt to recreate the

Big Bang. Another objective is to shed more

light on the Higgs boson particle. There are

several candidate locations, but there will only

be one ILC in the world. Japanese researchers

have indicated two candidate sites in Japan,

Sefuri (Saga/Fukuoka) and Kitakami (Iwate),

and they are currently investigating the envi-

ronmental and social conditions of each site.

The results of this research will be reported

to the national government.

FN: What benefits, economic or otherwise, do

you expect the Prefecture to gain from the

construction of the ILC?

Gov.: First and foremost, there will only be

one ILC in the entire world, so I would be very

excited if it were built in Asia, not to mention

Japan. If the ILC becomes a reality, Japan and

Kyushu could contribute to advancing funda-

mental science for the world as well as the

progress of mankind. Also, we will be able to

produce even more outstanding talent since

we will have excellent research facilities. For

example, young people who come into contact

with researchers and their families might be

positively influenced to pursue science. This

kind of exchange could produce the next gen-

eration of human resources, and I think that

is an amazing thing. The construction of the

ILC will generate many technologies, devices

and systems, and we can expect these to have

a ripple effect into many fields just as they

did at CERN. It will lead to advances in other

industries and medicine, and I think it will in-

vigorate international exchange.

FN: What can Fukuoka Now's readers do help

Fukuoka win the bid?

Gov.: We have tried to make people under-

stand the importance of fundamental physics

and to encourage children’s scientific curios-

ity. In that sense, I hope that readers of Fu-

kuoka Now can work on increasing the num-

ber of children who love science. We are also

Interested in supporting the bid?

fukuoka-now.com/beachguide➻#1 Keya 芥屋Pleasant and well-protected cove with sandy

beaches. Public toilets, uminoie (beach huts),

and parking make it ideal for families. Fishing

port with restaurants nearby.

#2 Niginohama 幣の浜Long, natural, and uncrowded, this is our favor-

ite, but alas not so convenient. Excellent surfing

spots. Few facilities or toilets.

#3 Nogita 野北Becoming more popular as more cafes set up,

including Cadillac Ranch, Hinode (great tacos!),

Current and Ohana!

#4 Futamigaura 二見ケ浦Excellent waves and the widest choice of cafes

and beach huts in Itoshima, including the leg-

endary Sunset Cafe. Also famous for meoto-iwa,

the "husband and wife" rock shrine.

#5 Obaru 大原Cleaner and less crowded than Momochi, yet

near the city. Impressive view of Hakata Bay and

fireworks are permitted until 10 pm.

#6 Nagatare 長垂With consistently strong winds, Nagatare is

popular with windsurfers and other marine

sports fans.

#7 Ikinomatsubara 生の松原A 2 km long beach by a pine forest near Ima-

juku Sta. The waves here aren't big, so ideal for

wake boarding, BBQing and just hanging out.

#8 Nokonoshima 能古島This island has several beaches,

the largest of which is part of No-

konoshima Island Park, and has

all the facilities a family with kids

could want, including bungalows

for overnight stays.

#9 Seaside Momochi シーサイド百道Golden sands, parks, restaurants and a multitude

of nearby recreation spots make this one of Fu-

kuoka's favorite places in summer. Sunbathers,

rollerbladers, smoochy couples and toddlers

alike vie for space on the beach and promenade.

#10 Fukuhama 福浜A tiny, sandy beach that is close enough to Tenjin

to make a lunch hour sunbathing session pos-

sible. Special zone for BBQ'ing and fireworks.

#11 Katsuma / Shirase 勝馬/白瀬This charming golden-sand beach, separated

from the main road by lush greenery, remains

unspoiled and clean. Snorkelers and divers will

prefer the rocky Shirase beach, which has navi-

gation ropes in the water leading to prime un-

derwater sights.

#12 Uminonakamichi 海の中道Long, narrow, sandy beaches on the east side of

the artificial land bridge to Shikanoshima. No de-

velopments or shops and strong winds can make

for choppy waters. Swimming is not allowed.

#13 Gannosu 雁の巣Large golden sand dunes make this beach very

unique and picturesque. Not much in the way of

facilities – place to get away from it all.

#14 Nata 奈多Facing east, this is the best beach to catch the

sunrise. The waves can be quite big here, even

in the summer.

#15 Mitoma 三苫Broad and sandy

beach, so clean the

sand squeaks as you

walk! No uminoie so shop before you head out.

Swimming is not allowed.

#16 Shingu 新宮Big, long, flat beach that is okay for swimming

but even more popular for beach walking along-

side its green pines. This is a popular beach for

families as well. Convenience store (Seven Elev-

en) is 5 min. by car.

#17 Fukuma / Miyajidake 福間/宮地岳Long, windswept beach immensely popular with

windsurfers. Many beach cafes, lots of events

throughout the summer and excellent sunsets.

#18 Tsuyazaki 津屋崎Wide, long beach also pop-

ular with windsurfers and

with plenty of facilities, in-

cluding a good va-

riety of cafes, umi-

noie, showers and

even hotels.

What’s With that?readers speak out!

フクオカ・ナウ読者が熱く語ります!

As a cyclist in Fukuoka City, driv-

ers are dangerous idiots. But as

a driver in Fukuoka City, cyclists

are dangerous idiots.

I ride a pretty fast hybrid bicycle (moun-

tain bike handle bars and gears with the

weight and tyres of a touring bike). I don’t

ride on the sidewalk, because pedestrians

walk every which way, often unexpectedly

changing course to pop into a shop. Pedes-

trians are like targets in a game of Frogger.

Old ladies with incontinent dogs - 50 points.

Senmon-gakko students with a sluggish

pace, reflective of their reluctance to grow

up - 100 points. Distracted school kids ruled

by the Heisenberg Principle. You can know

their location (squatted on the ground, ex-

amining a worm), or their momentum (chas-

ing a cat), but not both - 200 points.

The road is safer than the sidewalk. The

vehicles are travelling in the same direction. I

ride fast enough to keep near pace with cars

and buses. But, drivers pass too close, nearly

clipping your handlebars with their side mir-

rors. Truck drivers forget how long their ve-

hicles are and nearly force you off the road as

they pull back to the centre of the lane. Driv-

ers turning onto the main road will look right

through cyclists. The visual motion detectors

are only sensitive to cars. Seeing no cars,

they will turn directly into a cyclist. Drivers

waiting to turn across oncoming traffic will

misjudge your speed, confusing your touring

cycle travelling at 40 km/h with a mamachari.

When challenged, drivers respond with some

variation of “Get off the f@#king road.” It’s

surprising how knowledgeable Japanese

drivers are of English expletives.

Cyclists vs. DriversMark Cowan, Canada, Software Developer

自転車愛用者 vs 車利用者

自転車愛用者から言わせてもらうと、福岡の車の運転は乱暴。逆に車の運転手から見れば自転車の方が危ないんだろ

うけど… 僕は速くて凸凹にも強いハイブリッド自転車に乗っている。そして歩道は通らず車道を通ることにしてる。理由は簡単。とにかく歩道はゲームのフロッガーアーケード版みたいで、犬を散歩中のおばさんに遭遇したらマイナス 50 点、彼らの成長に反するように歩く

だらだらした専門学校生たちならマイナス100 点、道端でたむろしている学生たちはマイナス 200 点ってな具合さ。だから車道は歩道よりもずっと安全なんだ。車は同じ方向に進むし、僕はバスや車と同じ位の早さで自転車を運転するからね。でも車の運転手の中には、サイドミラーで自転車のハンドルが引っ掛かるくらいスレスレを通る輩もいるんだ。トラックの運転手には、運転しているトラックの長さを忘れ、車線変更のついでと言わん

ばかりに自転車を車道から追いやろうとする輩もいるし。車線変更中の運転手たちの視覚動作探知機能は車には敏感だけど、自転車には鈍感のようだ。曲がろうとしている時なんかは自転車の速度なんかすっかり無視。かといって強引に進もうとすると “Get off the f@#king road” なんて罵声をあびる始末(しかも英語で!日本の運転手って実は英語が堪能なんだね)。 一方、車の運転手たちからすると僕ら自転車の方が危険極まりない存在だろうね。愚かな若者らはメールをしながら自転車に乗るし、信号無視は当たり前。片手で傘をさす遅刻寸前で猛スピードの自転車通勤サラリーマンたちもいる。道のど真ん中をママチャリで優雅に通るマダムに、塾帰りの高校生軍団な

If you notice a truck stuck behind you, wave

a signal to him when you are ready for him to

pass. Use your bell with pedestrians. Remem-

ber, bicycles are pretty quiet. Just a short ring

lets old people and mothers with children know

that you are coming.

When you are driving and passing a cyclist,

give them at least one-and-half metres. It’s

extremely unsettling feeling a side mirror just

miss your shoulder. Also, cyclists sometimes

have to make quick dodges for crushed pop

cans. When turning, check for oncoming cy-

clists near the curb too. Basically, treat a bi-

cycle as you would a small car.

More courtesy = less idiocy.

fukuoka-now.comDodesho? post YOUR comment online

As a driver, cyclists are the most danger-

ous things on the road. Wakamono bakamo-

no ride right through stop signs, happily text

messaging. Late-for-work salary men, single-

handedly pedaling like mad men in the rain,

with their other hand holding an umbrella.

Bow-legged deaf babachans leisurely ride

mamacharis in the middle of the road. High

school boys returning late at night from jyu-

kyu, oblivious to the practical demonstration

of Darwinism that they risk. What colour are

black-haired high school boys riding 3 abreast,

in black school uniforms on black bicycles

late at night with no lights? Black! “Get off

the f@#king road”.

The law says bicycles are categorized as

mini-vehicles. Riding on the sidewalk is pun-

ishable by up to 3 months imprisonment and

a fine of up to ¥50,000. Though, as anyone

can see, this law is ignored.

For the last few years, Fukuoka City has

been converting wider sidewalks in to half

walkways and half bikeways, such as along

Meiji-dori by Heiwadai park. This does make

cycling safer, provided that cyclists and

pedestrians keep to their path. But this only

covers a small area of the city.

I propose a license fee of ¥1000 on each

bicycle sold in the city, with the money used

to mark off bike lanes on roads and sidewalks.

This will keep cyclists from playing frogger

with pedestrians.

And, I propose the police enforce traffic

rules on cyclists - stops at red lights, signal-

ing turns, and lights at night. By obeying the

rules of the road, cyclists will be seen as right-

fully belonging on the road.

I know these sound utopian. In the mean-

time, if you are a cyclist and ride on the roads,

wear bright clothing and ride with a flashing

light on, even during the day. You’d be surprised

how more frequently drivers will notice you and

not cut out in front of you. Fukuokan drivers

are famously bad drivers, so stop at red lights

and stop signs. Use hand signals to show your

turns or if you’re going to pass a parked truck.

You’d be surprised how many drivers acknowl-

edge your intentions and give you room. Have

a mirror on your handlebars. It lessens the

surprise when cars pass, especially Priuses.

んかは、暗闇でライト無し、黒髪で黒い制服を着て、横に広がって群れて運転してる。君たち、闇に隠れてまったく見えないって知って る の か? そ れ こ そ “Get off the f@#king road!!" だぜ。 法律で自転車は「軽車両」。歩道を徐行しないで通ると 3 カ月以下の懲役(つまりは刑務所入り)もしくは 5 万円以下の罰金刑になるよ。残念ながら形式上の法律だけどね。 ここ数年間で福岡市には平和台公園前の明治通りのように、歩行者と自転車を分けた歩道ができた。これはかなりの効果を出していて、サイクリングもしやすいし、歩行者も身の安全を守ることができる。難点は 市 内 の ご く わ ず か な エ リ ア 限 定 の 対 応だってことくらい。だから僕はここで提案

したい。販売した自転車の売上げから千円ずつを自転車用のレーンを作るための費用に充てるってどうかな?そして警察には交通規制を厳しく見守るように申し出たい。一時停止の場所では必ず止まるとか、方向指示をだすとか、夜にはライトを付けるとか。基本のルールを徹底することによって、車道における自転車の権利は強くなるはずさ。 そ し て、 君 が 自 転 車 愛 用 者 で あ れ ば、明るい服を着て、フラッシュライトを昼夜関係なく点灯して欲しい。そうすれば、大半の運転者は君に気づいてくれるよ。そして、野蛮で有名な福岡の運転手が大勢いる街中では、停止線と赤信号では必ず止まるこ と。 方 向 転 換 す る 時 は 動 作 で 示 す こ と。そうすれば運転手は快く道を譲ってくれる。

ハ ン ド ル に ミ ラ ー な ん か つ け る と 尚 オ ッケー。そしてトラックの気配を背後に感じたら、君のペースでトラックに追い越しサインを出してあげるといい。最後に、歩行者にはベルで知らせてあげること。自転車は君が思っているより静かだから、ベルを鳴らすことで、年配者や子連れのお母さんたちは気づいてくれるよ。 そして自動車の運転手のみなさん、自転車をみたら少なくとも 1.5 メートルは車間距離をあけて下さい。サイドミラーが肩すれすれに通って行く時は生きた心地がしないし、自転車だって常に直進するとは限らないからね。自転車だって軽車両。乗り物を運転するドライバーみんなで気を配り合うってドーデショ?

Welcome to Yamakasa - Welcome to Fukuoka!You’ve probably already spotted some half-naked men running around town. These men in loincloths are participants in Fukuoka’s most anticipated annual festival, Hakata Gion Yamakasa. The highlight of the festival kicks off at exactly 4:59 am on July 15th when thousands of men from seven districts race through the streets carrying decorative, one-ton floats. Spectators line the streets cheering them on by shouting “oisa-oisa” and splashing them with water to keep them cool. Although the teams are timed, the event is not considered a race. The most successful team must exhibit cooperation and solidarity. This teamwork is not limited to just the runners. Local townspeople also participate by preparing for the festival and building floats almost a year in advance. We hope you’ll find this special map of use on the morning of the 15th. Don’t sleep in, and if you bring a camera, have a plastic bag handy because it gets really wet!
