Where to stay in Takeshita
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
No hotel row runs through Takeshita. A traveller choosing this part of Fukuoka is really choosing between a bed near Kidzania Fukuoka, handy for a family day out, and a room in the city's central hotel streets a short ride away. Hardly any lodging sits inside Takeshita itself.
Stay in Fukuoka itself for the concentration of rooms, and treat Takeshita as the daytime stop that Kidzania Fukuoka and the Naka Site between them make it.

About Takeshita
What are the main landmarks in Takeshita?
Takeshita's whole roll comes down to a pair of listings. Kidzania Fukuoka is the one most visitors arrive with, and it does more than any street here to put Takeshita on a Fukuoka itinerary that would otherwise pass straight through. The Naka Site is the quieter entry.
It sits in the record as a site rather than an attraction, and between the two of them the registers hold nothing else inside Takeshita worth sending a traveller across the city for.
What is the history of Takeshita?
Fukuoka's files give Takeshita only a few lines. Takeshita carries the written form 竹下, and the deepest layer the district can point to is the Naka Site rather than any building that still stands along its streets. The quarter's first year is missing.
What the name marks is an ordinary quarter of Fukuoka, reached by more families heading for Kidzania Fukuoka than by anyone tracing the older city under it.
Where is Takeshita?
Takeshita is one of the district names making up Fukuoka, its bounds enclosing both Kidzania Fukuoka and the Naka Site.
