Nakasu Private Yatai Food Stall Guided Tour
3 of these places are in Nakasu
Fukuoka's street food is the yatai, the open-air stalls that set up along the riverside and in Tenjin after dark and pack down before dawn. The Nakasu Yataigai stretch along the river is the most famous cluster, with Tenjin Yatai Row a second hub of stools and lantern light. Individual stalls such as Hide-Chan Yatai and Chez Remy serve ramen, oden and grilled small plates elbow to elbow with the next stool over.
