In answer to your questions:

What might expect from the Japanese community in Fukuoka being a "woman of colour". |
Fukuoka is fairly international, and there are many different ethnicities represented here. One of my closest friends here is a British woman of Jamaican descent, and from what she has told me, she really hasn't had any problems here.

I'm actually a tall woman of colour (5'10") |
Your height will probably cause some comments. People tell me I'm tall, and I'm only 5'4". ( Bring plenty of pantyhose and shoes- you won't find them to fit you here. ) |
