Nakasu is a small island tucked between the old merchant center of Hakata and the new commercial center of Fukuoka, Tenjin. The Meiji Dori which bisects the length of Fukuoka enters Nakasu from Tenjin and connects the red-light district to Hakata on the other side of the island. The impressive commercial center of Tenjin along Watanabe Dori is effectively joined to the old Hakata commercial center by Nakasu to form the new unified downtown of Fukuoka. One of the most impressive retail areas of Japan.
This is Watanabe Dori, the main shopping drag of Tenjin.
This is Meiji Dori after bisecting Watanabe Dori, before crossing the bridge to Nakasu.
Nakasu is an island. An old part of the old merchant town which evolved into the nightlife center of the modern one.
On the other side, the old merchant center of Hakata.
