Bene no Fukuoka ! – French influencer in Fukuoka & Kyushu region
Bene no Fukuoka !
From France to Japan, guided by love – a bicultural creator on Kyushu island
Bonjour! Nice to meet you!
I’m Bene, a French creator based in Fukuoka, Japan.
I create and share inspiring content about the beauty and unique charms of Kyushu island,
alongside the daily life of a French-Japanese family.

🇫🇷 Je passe à la télé japonaise✨
Ça sera dimanche, à partir de 2 heures du matin, dans le cadre du Téléthon japonais.
L’émission s’appelle «Ueda to onna ga hoeru yoru ». C’est un programme de variétés très populaire qui s’articule autour d’un plateau rempli de femmes qui débattent, racontent des anecdotes et partagent leurs points de vue de manière directe et souvent très drôle.
C’est à la fois divertissant et parfois touchant, car chaque invitée parle franchement de son expérience.
Bref, dans cette spéciale Téléthon, je vais parler de la France (notamment des différences entre accoucher en France et au Japon) au milieu de femmes venues du monde entier🇫🇷😊
