Where to stay in Kami-gofukumachi
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Three markers fix Kami-gofukumachi in place: the Yoshizumi Family Residence and the two stelae raised for the lapsed town names Saimonmachi and Uonomachi. All of them are walkable. A bed in Kami-gofukumachi puts a visitor among those markers rather than in a hotel district the register recognises, and the wider stock of rooms across Fukuoka is the fallback for anyone who wants choice.

Around the Yoshizumi Family Residence
The Yoshizumi Family Residence is the one standing building the register carries in Kami-gofukumachi, and the streets around it hold the two stelae as well. Beds are limited here, so book early.Find hotels in Around the Yoshizumi Family ResidenceWalkers tracing the lapsed names Saimonmachi and UonomachiThe stela corners
Two stelae mark where Saimonmachi and Uonomachi once applied, which gives a short circuit through Kami-gofukumachi that no other quarter of Fukuoka repeats.

About Kami-gofukumachi
What are the main landmarks in Kami-gofukumachi?
The register lists three things under Kami-gofukumachi. First the Yoshizumi Family Residence, whose main building is the part carried in the entry; then a stela for former Saimonmachi and a stela for former Uonomachi, each raised where an older town name once applied. Two names, one house.
The rest of the quarter's fabric goes unrecorded here, which makes the walk between the three markers the whole of what the file will support.
What is the history of Kami-gofukumachi?
Kami-gofukumachi has no origin year on record. What Kami-gofukumachi keeps instead is a pair of memorials to names that fell out of use: the stela for former Saimonmachi and the stela for former Uonomachi, each standing on ground that once went by a different town name inside Fukuoka. The Yoshizumi Family Residence survives as built fabric.
When the older names lapsed is not set down in the entry, and Kami-gofukumachi carries no date of its own beyond what the two memorials imply.
Where is Kami-gofukumachi?
Kami-gofukumachi is one of the quarters of Fukuoka recorded as Kami-gofukumachi, its three marked sites standing within a short walk of one another.
