Japan’s Strongest

The next day, the Jade Dragon Flag National Competition opening ceremony was held at Fukuoka Budo Gym. As a landmark of District Fukuoka, Fukuoka Budo Gym was the district's biggest budo gym, capable of holding 23,000 people. Each year, all sorts of events and activities would be organized here.

Today, visitors from every corner of the nation and also many foreign travelers gathered in little Fukuoka.

The locals were relatively calmer than the foreigners. Once the foreigners knew that the annual Jade Dragon Flag National Competition was starting, they were way more excited than the locals. As foreign visitors, being able to watch a national competition like that caused an emotional high for them.

That was why today's seating area at Fukuoka Budo Gym was packed to the brim. Apart from the swarms of reporters, the sound of cameras clicking away sounded endlessly. Everyone was discussing exuberantly.
