Lonely Planet review

The small Hakata Machiya Furusato-Kan folk museum opposite Kushida Shrine re-creates a bit of old Japan with restored merchants houses, historic photos and displays of traditional Hakata culture. You can even hear recordings of impenetrable Hakata-ben dialect through antique telephones, or try your hand at Hakata-ori (traditional weaving for kimono cloth). An English brochure is available, and inexpensive souvenirs for sale in the museum shop.
