Shopping mall
Tenjin Underground Mall
〒810-0001 Fukuoka, Chuo Ward, Tenjin, 2-chōme−1, 地下1・2・3号
Cobblestoned nineteenth-century-style underground shopping street stretching some five hundred ninety meters beneath the city center.
This guide to Tenjin Underground Mall in Fukuoka follows the promise this cobblestoned shopping street was built on: shelter from the city's rain and typhoons without ever stepping outside. It traces back to June 29, 1999, when a sudden downpour overwhelmed Fukuoka's drains and sent floodwater into passages built to keep people dry, with lives lost near Hakata Station. Look closely at the low tracks set into some of the entrances as you pass through.
