　 Attention

What a treat to take a summer holiday in an exquisite oasis that’s just a 15-minute ferry ride away. After arriving in Nokonoshima and meandering through an arcade of trees, you arrive at a beach so infused with international flavor and atmosphere that you may really believe you’ve left Japan. Welcome to Isla de Salsa! In Spanish, “salsa”means sauce. The ingredients for making the festival so rich come not only from the professional international and local musicians who fill the air with sounds that inspire even the uninitiated to dance, but also from every person who comes to spice up and savor the feast of activities, contributing to enriching the “sauce” of the festival. Whether you spend the day listening to music, dancing, sampling a variety of food, gazing at unique artistic works, riding a banana boat or just sun bathing, why not hop across the bay and get stirred into another world!

So what happens if you’re hungry during the festival? Don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of delicious food on offer at stands run by a number of great Fukuoka restaurants. And with their many varied types of wonderful food, you won’t be left hungry for even a minute!

It’s a great idea to bring swimwear! As well as being very practical with all that dancing in the sweaty summer heat, you can easily cool off with a dip in the sea! Then you can go back and dance without changing your clothes! For dancing to great live music, plus eating, drinking, sunbathing and swimming, then taking a little siesta...swimwear is definitely the clothing you need to fully enjoy Isla de Salsa!
