Located on the first floor of Hakata Station, this shopping zone is Kyushu’s largest souvenir shop.
Not only are souvenirs of the Kyushu region sold, but sweets, prepared foods, fashion, and general merchandise can also be found. The “Wagashi Kobo,” a Japanese confectionary demonstration and sales corner, is particularly popular.
Go ahead and buy some matcha or Japanese tea at a nearby Japanese tea store and enjoy it with freshly made wagashi (Japanese sweets) at the rest area.
The shop is directly connected to the station ticket gate so it’s easily accessible.
