Where to stay in Chikkō-honmachi
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
One tower fixes the district. A stay in Chikko-honmachi puts the Hakata Port Tower a few minutes from the door, while Nanotsu, Okihamamachi and Sekijōmachi carry most of the walking a visitor is likely to do from here. You want a base built around one landmark. Tsumashōji, Kamiyamachi and Taihakumachi lie a similar distance out, and Komondomachi and Narayamachi mark the outer end of the same short walk.

About Chikkō-honmachi
What are the main landmarks in Chikkō-honmachi?
The Hakata Port Tower is the one landmark the register places inside Chikkō-honmachi, and it does the work of orientation that a district of this size would otherwise leave to its street names. Everything else sits outside the boundary. Okihamamachi, Sekijōmachi and Tsumashōji hold the ground immediately around, and Nanotsu lies about as close, so the tower stays the only fixed name inside Chikko-honmachi itself.
What is the history of Chikkō-honmachi?
Nobody set down a year for Chikkō-honmachi. Chikko-honmachi names the district in the register, and the Hakata Port Tower is the only structure recorded within it, which leaves the tower carrying whatever public memory the streets themselves do not. Fukuoka answers to Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan.
Most of the names around it end in the same machi element, among them Sekijōmachi, Taihakumachi and Narayamachi, which puts Chikkō-honmachi in a run of town-block names.
Where is Chikkō-honmachi?
Chikkō-honmachi covers a small piece of Fukuoka marked by the Hakata Port Tower, with Okihamamachi, Nanotsu and Sekijōmachi close around.
