The row of stalls on Nakasu Island is a short walk from Kushida Shrine Station along the Nanakuma Subway Line (1 minute, 210 yen from Hakata Station).

 

 


The food at the yatai stalls can be a bit on the expensive side. Some of the yatai require customers to order a drink. Dining in these cozy spaces with chefs cooking right in front of you offers a unique experience. The service is exceptionally quick!



5. Kawabata Shopping Arcade 


It is a nice shopping place. Things there are cheaper and a lot local stuffs can get from there. I can’t even finish the whole street as it is very long.
