Nakasu, Entertainment district and river island in Hakata-ku, Japan
Located between Nakagawa and Hakatagawa rivers, Nakasu contains 3,500 establishments spread across numerous streets connected by 18 bridges spanning the waterways.
The island emerged in 1600 when Kuroda Nagamasa, ruler of Fukuoka, built two initial bridges to connect Chuo-ku and Hakata-ku districts through the sandbank.
The district maintains a collection of yatai food stalls along the southern riverbank, serving regional specialties like Hakata ramen and yakitori to visitors.
Nakasu connects to the city through Nakasu-Kawabata subway station on the Fukuoka City Subway line, with regular service from early morning until late night.
The Fukuhaku Deai Bridge provides views of illuminated signs reflecting on the river waters, creating mirror effects visible from multiple vantage points.
