What other travelers are saying about Canal City Hakata
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!
Huge shopping centre all the leading brands on sale, top 3 floors are carpark admin etc, office areas. MacDonald's downstage is a lot of eateries. Price's in shops are expensive, but you're paying for quality, bargains can be found. good for a wander. The arcade of shops is opposite to the complex and near to the train station, amazing bargains and cheap eateries, huge variety of clothing stores.
this mall is nice to visit at night because of the illumination. went here this December and there was a lights and fountain show and a Gundam-themed show too. I love that they have a Ghibli shop here :) we were not able to explore the whole area since it was closing time already.
Very large mall, multiple levels and 3 buildings. Lots of stores, restaurants, cinemas, arcades and more interactive activities. Also connected to the Grand Hyatt Hotel, for convenience and more shops/restaurants. You can spend the whole day here. Shop 'til you drop. 😂
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.
