About Hakata-eki-minami
Where to stay in Hakata-eki-minami
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Three districts share the name. Hakata-eki-minami holds its first element in common with Hakata-eki-higashi and Hakata-eki-chūōgai, and a room in any of the three puts a traveller on the same side of the city as Minoshima and Takeshita. Minoshima lies nearest.
You want a base with the Hie Site at hand, since Sumiyoshi, Kiyokawa and Gionmachi all lie further out than the district's own ground.
About Hakata-eki-minami
What are the main landmarks in Hakata-eki-minami?
The Hie Site is the single registered landmark inside Hakata-eki-minami, and the district's file carries no second entry beside it, which makes that one site the whole of what is listed here. Minoshima and Takeshita lie close. Further out, Katakasu and Gionmachi carry their own names in the same register, though nothing in them belongs to Hakata-eki-minami.
What is the history of Hakata-eki-minami?
Hakata-eki-minami has no charter date. The Hie Site gives Hakata-eki-minami its one link to anything older than the current address book, and the register otherwise fixes the district by its neighbours Minoshima, Takeshita and Hakata-eki-higashi. Fukuoka Prefecture and Japan stand above the city. Three districts built on the same Hakata-eki element appear in that book, so Hakata-eki-minami reads there as one of a named group rather than as a settlement with a separate story.
Where is Hakata-eki-minami?
Hakata-eki-minami takes in a stretch of Fukuoka around the Hie Site, with Minoshima, Hakata-eki-higashi and Takeshita close by.
