You’ll find a range of nice resting places– including a boulangerie and coffee shops– where you can refuel for more shopping in comfort and style. When visiting Fukuoka Parco, it might be a good idea to leave boyfriends, husbands and kids at home!

How to enjoy Fukuoka Parco? To get the most out of shopping, visit Parco with a good friend and a whole afternoon free to spend browsing. We particularly recommend indulging in a long snack break at the Sweet Paradise cake buffet (or in one of the nice cafe/boulangeries) and getting lost in the 5F gift shops.

For Children: Parco has some shops that the little ones will love. They’re sure to enjoy the character goods shops on the 8F, featuring popular characters such as Snoopy, Hello Kitty, Miffy and Rilakkuma, and there’s also a Disney store on the B1 basement level.

For Men: There are quality goods to be found for men- including backpacks, hats and other clothing. The 8F is great for hikers and musicians, and there is also a small shop inside where you can buy soccer fan goods including team jerseys from many famous clubs.

For Women: A paradise for women, especially young ones! You’ll be surrounded by clothes, cosmetics, accessories, cute homewares, furniture and cakes!

For Tourists: Overseas visitors should check out the little cake store on the basement level near Kitano Ace. They sell neat gift-boxes of typical Japanese cakes. The restaurants on the basement level also cover a range of Japanese foods worth trying on holiday!
