Food & cafes

Six Tenjin spots I've eaten at: Keika wagyu mabushi or Hirao tempura (¥1,090) for lunch, Akatan's ¥8,000 yakiniku course or Nagaoka for dinner.

Fukuoka Tower is 30 minutes by bus from Hakata and costs ¥1,000. By day you see the sea and Momochi Beach; at sunset, a pink sky and city lights.

With kids in Fukuoka, try the Canal City fountain show, LaLaport's life-size Gundam, Ohori Park's Japanese garden and Fukuoka Tower.

Tenjin Underground Mall runs north–south between Tenjin and Tenjin-Minami. Go by exit number: Ringo apple pie at West 4, Imoya Kinjiro at East 11.
