On any aesthetic shopping route in Fukuoka,

The Yakuin neighborhood itself has a quiet,

upscale residential vibe,

Even the burger shops on the way to

​

It's about a 3-minute walk from Yakuin-odori Station,

roughly a 15-minute walk from Tenjin,

Super easy to get to!

Yakuin is filled with

charming and pretty boutique shops,

home decor stores,

great restaurants,

and cozy cafes.

​

​

​

gorgeous kitchenware,

​

​

​

​

​

​

diffusers, scented candles, mirrors,

​

​

​

interior design details,

and a wonderful selection of cups and plates...

They have so many practical yet stylish

and aesthetic items!

​

​

​

​

From cast iron pans and cookbooks to kitchen scales and pepper grinders,

there are so many lovely, gift-worthy little items

that I wanted to buy them all.

​

​

​

Pasta makers,

lemon squeezers...

​

Since some items

are quite fragile,

you can ask for secure packaging

to carry them safely onto the plane.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

There are beautiful cookbooks,

and cast iron skillets too—

it was so much fun just browsing around.

​

​

​

​

​

​

As expected of Japan, the tableware

comes in such a vibrant array of colors.

​

​

​

​

​

​

From French presses

to various coffee accessories,

the sheer variety of products

was absolutely

overwhelming!

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

They also carry traditional Japanese teas

like Suchun Green Tea

and Ocha no Naname.

Price Range

Starting from the 1,000 yen range,

there is a wide variety of prices

to suit different budgets:

Wooden spoons & cutlery: 1,000 - 3,000 yen

Plates & bowls: 1,500 - 5,000 yen

Famous designer ceramics: 3,000 - 8,000 yen

​

The 2nd floor has

clothing and lifestyle goods,

so the prices there run higher

than on the 1st floor.

​

It's not budget-friendly like Don Quijote,

but given the amazing quality,

it's perfect for finding

thoughtful and stylish gifts.

​

​

​

​

They also sell Matsuyama oils,

bath salts, and

various cosmetics.

Cafe Porters

Menu

Although it's a cafe,

they also serve light bites like

galettes,

curries,

salads, and coffee!

​

​

​

​

It's incredibly popular!

It was completely full,

and with no seats left,

I couldn't try it this time.

But I'm definitely giving it a go next time!

​

​

​

​

​

​

They also host exhibitions and cooking classes here,

​

​

​

and beyond the cafe, they sell bags, clothing,

and lovely lifestyle items

on the second floor.

​

​

Some items are quite budget-friendly,

while others are a bit of a splurge,

but there were so many unique pieces that were hard to resist.

If you are looking for a lifestyle

or home decor shop in Yakuin,

B.B.B POTTERS is definitely

a highly satisfying choice,

making it a perfect addition

to your Fukuoka shopping itinerary!
