A study conducted by a private research firm in November showed that the annual economic impact is now approximately 10.49 billion yen, a figure that has doubled since the last survey in 2011. Mayor Takashima expressed satisfaction with the growth and diversity of these stalls, attributing it to the city&#8217;s provision of essential infrastructure and a public application system. Tourist surveys revealed that the number of visitors drawn to Fukuoka City for these stalls has almost doubled, reaching about 135,000. Despite a decrease in the number of stalls by 45, their total revenue increased by about 600 million yen, totaling around 2.3 billion yen. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city.fukuoka.lg.jp\/data\/open\/cnt\/3\/1070\/1\/kaiken2_yataikeizaihakyu.pdf?20231130091108\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Fukuoka City<\/span> <\/a><span>\/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/yotemira.tnc.co.jp\/news\/articles\/NID2023113019708\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span>TNC<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-158502\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fnn_nakasu-yatai_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka's Yatai Culture Booms with 10 Billion Yen Impact\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fnn_nakasu-yatai_2023_WEB.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fnn_nakasu-yatai_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fnn_nakasu-yatai_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fnn_nakasu-yatai_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
