Two streets used by Hawks fans as a shortcut to the Fukuoka Yahoo! JAPAN Dome have been renamed “Hawks Tojin Dori”! The ~1km streets are frequented by baseball fans in transit from Tojinmachi Station to the Fukuoka Yahoo! JAPAN Dome. The first of the two routes is from the west exit of Tojinmachi Station to the Children’s Hospital, the second is from the west side of Tojinmachi Shopping Arcade to the Children’s Hospital. The renaming is an attempt to rejuvenate the Tojinmachi Shopping Arcade. Fukuoka City Chuo Ward Office authorized the name on Oct. 15. Source: http://www.nishinippon.co.jp/nnp/item/332086
