For night owls

As night falls, you’ll find bustling streets and lively bars in and around Nakasu, an entertainment-packed quarter bordered by two rivers to form an island in the heart of the city. Here, you can kick the evening off with a traditional Yatai experience. Yatai, the iconic open-air food stalls in Nakasu, are a hallmark of Fukuoka's food and night-time culture. As well as an array of delicious street food, they offer a chance to mingle and soak up some tradition.

If you’re looking for music, wander east to Oyafuko street, known for its clubs, bars and youthful, dynamic atmosphere. Tenjin, the district it belongs to, is the centre of Fukuoka's nightlife scene, with establishments catering to every style and musical taste. You can also find creative cocktails bars such as Bar Oscar, Citadel and Japanese Salon Shizuku.

Call it a night with a bowl of comforting hot ramen from an all-night eatery (Ichiran boasts a branch on Nakasu island, if you’re craving more of that rich broth and secret-recipe sauce).
