Fukuoka shopping · Tenjin shopping

Tenjin: what people ask

Subway Tenjin and Nishitetsu Fukuoka are close, but not the same operator. The underground links them.

What to buy at Hakata Station

The station is supply and souvenirs, not a whole day. Mentaiko can be bought in the station or at Yanagibashi.

Where to shop in the rain

Canal City or the Tenjin underground. Do not schedule Itoshima or Yanagawa in the rain.

Fukuoka rain · Canal City

Where to buy mentaiko

Yanagibashi Rengo is the morning market. Kawabata-dori is the gift street. Do not turn both into a buying itinerary.

mentaiko · Yanagibashi market

What to buy in Dazaifu

One umegae shop is enough. The Tenmangu is the reason for the day, not the shopping street.

umegae mochi · Dazaifu approach

Are yatai shopping?

No. A yatai is one meal. Nakasu, Gion or Nagahama — pick one.

How Daimyo differs from Tenjin

Tenjin is department stores. Daimyo is a street. Do only one kind in a day.

Daimyo Fukuoka · Tenjin Daimyo

Where families can stay put

Canal City or the science museum — pick one. The character street is only a short wait at the station.

Where to stay if you want to shop

Stay in Tenjin for a shopping spine. Stay at Hakata Station if you are only changing trains. Do not stay in Momochi in order to shop.
