Nakasu
Nakasu is a small island district between two branches of the Naka River, packed with bars, clubs, and — most famously — rows of yatai, open-air street food stalls that set up along the riverside each evening. These portable stalls serve ramen, oden, yakitori, and other casual dishes, and sitting at one is a distinctly Fukuoka experience.
By day it's a fairly ordinary commercial district; the atmosphere really comes alive after dark when the yatai lanterns light up along the water.
