When it comes to Fukuoka, there’s a street stall that you can’t miss!For the citizens of Fukuoka, the ordinary scenery of the roadside stands is fresh and very attractive for first-time visitors.
When did the street stall culture begin?
In the past, street stalls (large stalls) were simple shops that could be moved, restaurants with roofs, or platforms for selling goods.
The stalls in Japan date back to the Edo period (1716-1736), At that time, there were many samurai who were on duty alternately and Edo,
which had a large number of single employees, was bustling with the increasing demand for dining out.
Fukuoka’s stall culture, like that of the whole country, began with temporary shops on roads and other places in the chaos of the postwar period around 1945.
There are three areas in Fukuoka where there are many stalls: Nakasu, Tenjin (around Watanabe Street), and Hakata Station.
This time, I would like to introduce you to the Tenjin area located near the Tenjin shop in Fukuoka.
Tenjin, along with Hakata, is a commercial facility representing Fukuoka, and Daemyung and Filial piety streets are always crowded with young people.
The stalls of the gods are located around Watanabe Street, and the stalls that appear around the gods at dusk have become one of Fukuoka’s fables.
At the Tenjin-gu booth, you can enjoy various dishes such as ramen, dumplings, and yakitori, which is no less attractive than Jungju.
In recent years, Fukuoka City has also been increasing the number of public recruitment booths carefully selected to increase the unique atmosphere of street stalls.Of course, Tenjin are no exception!
It has a wide variety of dishes, ranging from local cuisine such as Kagoshima to multinational cuisine.
It is the charm of the gods that you can enjoy from old-fashioned street stalls to new street stalls.
