Nakasu-Kawabata Station

Traveler highlights

Nakasu-Kawabata Station is an interchange between the Fukuoka Subway Airport and Hakozaki lines, whose platforms occupy different underground levels; some trains run through between lines. Beside the station is Kawabata Shopping Arcade, a covered street about 400 meters long with more than 130 long-established and newer shops selling crafts, clothing, food and specialty goods. The roof makes it comfortable to browse in rainy weather. Fukuoka Asian Art Museum is near the arcade entrance and shows modern and contemporary Asian art. This is more than a transfer point: it links the subway, an old shopping street and a museum in an easy walk through central Hakata.
