About Shimo-gofukumachi
Where to stay in Shimo-gofukumachi
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Two addresses hold Shimo-gofukumachi together in the record: the main building of the Takahashi Family Residence and Shop, and the stone raised for former Shimotatechō. Neither takes long to reach. A room inside 下呉服町 buys nearness to that short pairing and little else, so the wider stock of Fukuoka is the better bet for anyone who wants a choice of beds and a base for more than one day.
About Shimo-gofukumachi
What are the main landmarks in Shimo-gofukumachi?
Stela for former Shimotatechō is the shorter of the two entries. The other is the main building of the Takahashi Family Residence and Shop, a house and a business under one roof that the register files by that main building alone. Two points, one street.
Anyone counting temples or towers will do better in the rest of Fukuoka, since 下呉服町 offers a frontage and a stone and leaves it there.
What is the history of Shimo-gofukumachi?
Shimotatechō is the name that lapsed. Its stela stands in what the register now files as Shimo-gofukumachi, and the Takahashi Family Residence and Shop holds the quarter's one piece of standing fabric, with the main building the part the entry actually carries. Both names arrive undated.
Neither the date of the change nor any earlier mention of 下呉服町 in Japan is set down, so the stone and the frontage are left to say what they can.
Where is Shimo-gofukumachi?
Shimo-gofukumachi runs as a quarter of Fukuoka under the written form 下呉服町, its two recorded points standing a short walk apart.
