Fukuoka Kokusai Center

Apart from the Fukuoka Dome, this "international center" is the largest venue in the city. The number of people the building can accommodate depends largely on the type of event and arrangement of seating, but it is literally several thousand. Notable sports events held here are the Kyushu Basho (sumo tournament) and international Judo competitions. Be aware that the place is so big, if you do not have seats near the floor, you will not be able to see much. The same goes for concerts, which are also held here regularly.
