How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Fukuoka Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Fukuoka Airport (FUK/RJFF) the live call is landing and departure 34R+34L with METAR wind 350° @ 12 kt. 34R shows 11.3 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 4.1 kt crosswind from the right. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every RJFF threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
