Fukuoka Airport
Just 5 minutes by subway to Hakata Station! A major hub airport connecting Kyushu with the rest of Japan and destinations across Asia.
Fukuoka Airport is located in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City, and is known for its exceptional access to the city center-just about 5 minutes by subway to Hakata Station and around 11 minutes to Tenjin. Its convenience makes it a major gateway for both tourism and business travel.
The airport handles an extensive network of flights. Domestically, routes connect to major cities such as Tokyo (including the high-frequency Fukuoka-Haneda route, one of the busiest in the world), Osaka, Nagoya, Hokkaido, and Okinawa. Internationally, airlines operate flights from key Asian cities including Seoul, Taipei, Shanghai, Bangkok, and others. While the subway station sits at the Domestic Terminal, a free shuttle bus runs between the Domestic and International Terminals, ensuring easy transfers.
Inside the terminals, you’ll find a wide array of dining options. Popular ramen shops are clustered in designated areas, and there is even a food court specializing in Fukuoka cuisine-perfect not only for travelers but also for locals visiting just to enjoy a meal. Shopping is equally impressive: convenience stores, drugstores, and a large selection of Kyushu sweets and specialty products in the Domestic Terminal. After security in the International Terminal, duty-free shops offer cosmetics, liquor, and more at tax-free prices.
