Where to stay
Where to stay: one axis a day
First night in Hakata, shopping in Tenjin, yatai in Nakasu. Momochi only on event days. Dazaifu follows the Nishitetsu last train, Itoshima needs a car or a bus, and Yanagawa depends on whether Tenjin is still reachable after the punt. No rates and no booking.
