Tenjin is a charming area set in downtown Fukuoka. It has the same exciting feel of a bigger Japanese city but with less crowding. Tenjin leads right up to the Naka River where you find some of the most beautiful scenery. The balance between concrete and nature in this part of the city is on point. There are beautiful parks and viewing points onto the river, as well as some really great architecture. At night this area comes alive as the city lights flicker, mirrored on the surface of the water. Buskers on the bridge create a romantic ambience perfect for an evening stroll.
