Upon your arrival in Fukuoka
Fukuoka International Airport is well-connected to the city centre and offers multiple transport options. We recommend taking a taxi, which takes approximately 15 minutes to get downtown.

A brief introduction to Fukuoka
Beautiful beaches, rich history, and world class cuisine greet you in the castle town of Fukuoka – the largest city on Japan’s ancient island of Kyushu.
We recommend starting your trip by visiting the ancient Tocho-ji Temple, which is the oldest Shingon temple in the region and dates back to the 9th century. History lovers will also appreciate the ruins of 17th century Fukuoka Castle in Maizuru Park. While here, you can gaze at the remains of the walls and turrets while enjoying a leisurely walk amongst beautiful Japanese ‘sakura’ (cherry blossoms).
West of the city, you can find Hakata Bay, which offers the perfect conditions to try your hand at yachting and stand up paddleboarding, while the beaches on the outskirts of the city offer great waves for surfing enthusiasts.
We also recommend sampling Fukuoka’s culinary specialities, which include sushi, ‘yakitori’ (grilled skewers), and the regional speciality – ‘tonkotsu ramen’ (pork and noodles in broth).
