What time do Fukuoka yatai open?

The earliest open around 6pm, and most from about 6:30 to 7pm. Most listed closing times are past midnight.

Do yatai close in bad weather?

Yes. Days off differ by stall, and a stall may not open on a rainy or windy day even when it is usually open. Check its social media or call ahead. The city's LINE account, FUKUOKA GUIDE, shows stalls and opening status.

Is there a cover charge (otoshi)?

Some stalls charge an otoshi, a small starter with a table charge, or ask for one order each. Check the prices and rules on the menu before you order. The city lists 75 of 98 stalls as having no cover charge.

The city lists 16 of 98 stalls as taking credit cards, and many more take cashless payments. Carry cash.

Yatai have no toilets, so go first. Leave big bags at a locker or your hotel. Seats are few (about 10), so squeeze up and don't linger when people are waiting. Most stalls don't take bookings. Going alone is normal, and children are welcome; come early with kids.
