About this spot
Nakasu Yatai Street, which lights up Fukuoka's nights, is one of Japan's leading gourmet spots, with red lanterns glowing along the banks of the Naka River. At dusk, the sight of stalls being set up one after another conveys the energy unique to Hakata. Beyond the famous tonkotsu ramen, each stall has its own character, with fragrant charcoal-grilled yakitori, slow-simmered oden, original creative dishes and even authentic bars. The greatest charm of a yatai is its homey closeness, where conversation naturally flows between the owner and the customers sitting next to you. Gazing at the beautiful night view of the river while enjoying good drinks and food will make your travel memories even deeper. It is ideal for a lively night out with friends, a nostalgic night when you drop in alone, or the finale to a date. Why not spend blissful time in Nakasu, where you can directly experience Hakata's 'warmth of people' and 'flavor'?
