I can finally feel that a few achievements of #ColiveFukuoka are starting to be recognized within the global digital nomad scene, since it's been three years since I started my journey with ***uoka. But recently, I’ve felt a shift. I’m starting to hear more people ask with genuine curiosity: "Wait, ***uoka...? How do you even pronounce that? What is there?" (Then I just proposed them to call us "***" 😂 our official code for the airport👍) For those who have heard the name but don't yet know the story—and for those wondering why this city is so special—I put my heart into writing this guide. I collaborated with Freaking Nomads to release "***uoka for Digital Nomads: The Ultimate Guide." I hope this article helps you discover your next favorite destination. ***uoka for Digital Nomads: The Ultimate Guide https://freakingnomads.com/digital-nomad-guide-to-***uoka-japan/
