This tour introduces you to Japan’s justice system through a visit to the Fukuoka court area. You will learn how Japanese courts work, the difference between civil and criminal cases, and how public trials are observed in Japan. If a suitable public hearing is available on the day, we may observe part of a real court session. This is not just a building visit — it is a chance to understand Japanese society, law, fairness, and courtroom culture from a local perspective.
