What other travelers are saying about Canal City Hakata
Beautiful mall that has a canal running through it. Its very close to Kushida Shrine subway station. The fountain show plays every hour or so, and at night they start playing Gundam light shows that comes with an interactive gameplay on your mobile phones. The mall layout is generally quite easy to navigate. There are lots of tax-free stores here, so do bring along your passport if you are going to shop around.
The crowd of tourists can be a bit of a problem, and I was actually pushed aside by a very unruly Asian tourist even though I was standing near the fountain first, who even shoved my phone away just so she could take her video. With that in mind, do take care of your belongings during the show. It can become quite crowded.
Nice mall with a lot of different shops for fashion and anime lovers. Can be a little confusing to navigate through the mall because of the way the different buildings are set up, we had a little trouble finding the way to the fifth floor (ramen stadium). Water fountain (and illumination) shows are scheduled on different times during the day and evening. When we were there, they had a Gundam light/fountain show.
The water performance at the mall is a feature of delight. It’s fun and exciting to watch with live music playing too on most days! A fun exciting part of Fukuoka
Grear place to shop with service staff very experienced handling international shoppers. Sports shops, shoe shops and local snacks.. lots of variety housed in a beautiful building surrounding the fountain. December is exceptionally beautiful with the illumination at the stage and fountain. Great Christmas mood!
