Hakata Kawabata Shopping Street, which has a history of over 130 years, is a great place to experience traditional culture and enjoy delicious food.

Hakata Kawabata Shopping Street, which has a history of more than 130 years, is the earliest bustling shopping street in Hakata. It is also a scenic spot that you can visit when visiting Kushida Shrine⛩️. It is about 400 meters long and is divided into Kawabata Central Shopping Street and Kamikawabata Shopping Street. Here you can enjoy shopping🛍️and taste delicious meals. This traditional Japanese shopping street is different from other common Japanese shopping streets, because here you can also see related displays about the Hakata Yamakasa Festival, such as the costume patterns and Hachiban Yamakasa they wear during the festival. The types of shops here are also related to tradition and long history. For example, shops that have been selling traditional carpets, noren, and curtains since Showa 5 (1930), or shops that opened in the Meiji period grocery store. In addition to traditional store types, of course there are also some modern styles here, such as Daiso and FamilyMart convenience stores🏪There are also many restaurants here, and you can also eat Mojiko's super delicious grilled curry🍛! This is the place I will definitely come again next time I come to Fukuoka✈️.
