My Trip

Starting from the airport/Hakata Station, this relaxed first-visit route links Hakata's old town (shrine & temple) → Canal City → Ohori & Fukuoka Castle ruins → Tenjin → the Nakasu yatai food stalls, mostly on foot or one or two subway stops. The must-see landmarks—Kushida Shrine, Tochoji, the castle ruins—are balanced out with the shopping streets, parks, and street-food stalls where locals actually go.
