Nakasu is located in the center by the Naka river, a river that divides Fukuoka creating twin cities of Hakata (East side) and Fukuoka (West side). It is also considered one of the most infamous red-light districts in Japan. There are a lot of host & hostess bars around, as well as regular bars and restaurants.
Nakasu Matsuri (Festival)
This festival is neat because it consists of only girls carrying portable shrines through the streets of Nakasu. Apparently you don’t have to be a local, but there is an advance sign up. Considering how heavy the shrine looks at other festivals, where majority of carriers ARE male, I don’t think I could really do it. Cheers to the ones who do!! 😀

Cotton Field Restaurant
For dinner, a friend booked us into the Cotton Field Restaurant. A cozy basement restaurant in Nakasu that offered foreign beer + dinner sets. Mexican food with Mexican beer, European food with European beer, etc. Ribs were fantastic! I mixed my European dish with a Mexican beer – just because it reminded me of someone back home. That beer was for you Graydon!
