Unlike the usual busy Japanese shopping streets, this place is great if you want to get a feel for how locals live day to day.

ONE FUKUOKA BLDG.
A large mixed-use complex that stands in the heart of the Tenjin area, Fukuoka’s premier downtown district. It has 19 floors above ground and 4 basement floors, is 97 meters tall, and boasts a gross floor area of about 147,000 square meters. B2F through 5F are commercial floors, featuring new store concepts found only here, flagship stores, and a food zone unique to Fukuoka, a city known for its cuisine. On 5F, Tenjin Fuku Shokudo is an open dining space for people who work in Tenjin and visitors.
The whole building looks brand-new and stylish. The moment I got there, it really felt like Fukuoka’s new landmark. It’s right in Tenjin, so getting there is super convenient. There’s a nice mix of shops inside too—places to eat and plenty to browse.

Yokohama Chinatown
Yokohama Chinatown, one of Japan’s three major Chinatowns, is a district lined with countless Chinese restaurants. From affordable dishes you can enjoy as takeout or all-you-can-eat meals to authentic Chinese cuisine, there are options to suit your budget.
The food is definitely a highlight of Yokohama Chinatown. From traditional dim sum to all kinds of regional dishes like shumai, shrimp dumplings, Peking duck, and a huge variety of fried noodles and rice, everything tasted authentic and mouthwatering.
