About Tsumashōji
Where to stay in Tsumashōji
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
This is a short-street district. Booking in Tsumashōji means a bed among the 対馬小路 blocks, with Kamiyamachi, Komondomachi and Narayamachi each a couple of turns away, and Chikkō-honmachi not much further. Choice of rooms is slim on 対馬小路.
Anyone choosing this address is choosing proximity to Kamiyamachi and Susakimachi over the hotel streets, and accepting a quiet block in exchange.
About Tsumashōji
What are the main landmarks in Tsumashōji?
The walk here is all streets. Tsumashōji carries no museum, temple or monument in its entry, and neither the name 対馬小路 nor the district's position inside Fukuoka Prefecture brings a listed sight with it. Names are the attraction.
Kamiyamachi, Komondomachi, Susakimachi, Narayamachi and Taihakumachi crowd within a few minutes of one another, and a wander through them is the only sightseeing this quarter supplies.
What is the history of Tsumashōji?
The name outlasts the paperwork. 対馬小路 is recorded as the Japanese form of Tsumashōji, and the district appears as part of Fukuoka, but no founding year, no charter and no first mention travels with either the name or the ground it covers. Only the label survives. Tsumashōji therefore reaches a visitor as a name on a map and a few blocks of Fukuoka, with its story held inside the city's rather than told on its own.
Where is Tsumashōji?
Tsumashōji covers a few short blocks of Fukuoka in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, with Kamiyamachi, Susakimachi and Nakasu-nakashimamachi immediately around.
