It's certainly amusing when you post stuff that a person can prove wrong within 5 minutes of google research. Fuku, in japanese, means the following: clothes, blowing on something, wiping, or fortune. It doesn't mean welcome. Also, you used "dialect" wrong, a dialect is a sub-language of the core language, so say, the Tokyo dialect of the Japanese language is how you would use that word. Finally, the actual word for "welcome" in Japanese has two core forms, one is Yokoso! the generic welcome, the second is Irasshaimase! which is what you would hear from a shop owner, walking into their shop as a customer.
