Hakomatsu, Fukuoka — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Among the quarters of Fukuoka on Kyushu, Hakomatsu carries the official form 筥松 and no separate listing.
About Hakomatsu
Where to stay in Hakomatsu
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Events fill the halls of Fukuoka. The Fukuoka Kokusai Center and the Fukuoka Kyudenkinen Gymnasium both lie away from 筥松, so a bed in Hakomatsu is chosen for the room and the journey rather than for anything on the street outside. The quarter carries no listing.
Take it as a base if Fukuoka Prefecture business or a hall event brings the trip about and the address matters little.
About Hakomatsu
What are the main landmarks in Hakomatsu?
The Fukuoka Kokusai Center stands elsewhere in the city. So does the Fukuoka Kyudenkinen Gymnasium, and so does everything else the record attaches to Fukuoka, from the water of Hakata Bay to the older ground where trade with the Asian mainland began. Hakomatsu offers no substitute. 筥松 is an address, not a sight.
What is the history of Hakomatsu?
Trade with the Asian mainland shaped Fukuoka long before the register existed. People had occupied the area since the Jomon period, some of the earliest Yayoi period settlers arrived on the same ground, and the city's cross-cultural contact came early. 筥松 is a modern entry. Hakomatsu appears in the municipal record of a city that dates from 1889, with the deeper past belonging to Fukuoka rather than to the quarter.
Where is Hakomatsu?
Fukuoka spreads across Kyushu ground beside Hakata Bay, and Hakomatsu is one quarter of that Fukuoka Prefecture city.
