Sawara-ku
Sawara-ku may seem like a bustling suburban area but that is only because the two districts most people are familiar with, Nishijin and Momochi, share these qualities. Visitors really should try to see the beautiful Momochi region at least once, and are likely to pass through the more jumbled Nishijin Arcade area to do so. Also, for a sky-high view of the city and surrounding coastline, visit Japan's tallest seaside building, Fukuoka Tower. The rest of the ward meanders southwest into suburbs that are patched with rice-fields and, eventually, into a mountainous region so deserted that residents hiking or biking in the area sometimes encounter monkeys! The Hotel Twins Momochi offers an inexpensive, conveniently-located option for accommodations in this area.Nightlife
