Flight route information

Cathay Pacific offers flights to Fukuoka International Airport (FUK) from Melbourne Airport (MEL), with a layover in Hong Kong. Flights from MEL to FUK take around 10 hours and 30 minutes, including the layover, and bring you to Fukuoka’s International Terminal.

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. Alternatively, the Fukuoka City Subway can get you to the centrally-located Tenjin station in around 15 minutes. Buses and car rental services are also available from outside the airport terminal.

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).
