Are there non-stop flights to Fukuoka?

All travellers coming to Fukuoka by plane have to take a connecting flight from Narita, which serves as the conduit to other destinations in Japan for air travellers. We suggest taking Japanese carriers such as Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways for more convenient and seamless transfers, or you can also enjoy an extra side trip to Singapore along the way if you take Singapore Airlines. Use the stopover in Changi Airport to have a quick stroll around the area before boarding Japan Airlines to the final country of destination. We have many Fukuoka flight deals available here at Cheapflights.

How do you get from the airport to Fukuoka city center?

Fukuoka International Airport is located in the city of Fukuoka, so you’re basically right in the heart of your destination as soon as your plane makes touchdown. You have three options for getting to the city center: by bus, train, or taxi. Taking the bus is a cheap way, though taking the train is faster; in both approaches, your final station would be the Hakata Station. Riding taxis is always the most expensive, and we only recommend this if you need to be taken directly to a specific destination coming from the airport. Hakata is considered to be the main business hub of Fukuoka and is usually where visitors find their accommodations.

What are some things to do in Fukuoka?

Fukuoka is famously known as the birthplace of the world-famous tonkotsu ramen. If you’re a fan of this iconic Japanese dish, Fukuoka will definitely serve as a delicious destination. If you haven’t tried ramen yet, this is a great time to get inaugurated. One of the ramen places we recommend in the area is Hakata Issou, which is a 6min walk from Hakata Station. In case you’re familiar with Ippudo, the first branch originated in Hakata and is also worth a visit, and yatai stalls are great ways to experience Fukuoka street food culture; visit in the evenings to get a real feel of the local cuisine through these little stalls. A day trip to Fukuoka Castle will get visitors acquainted with Japanese history, we recommend visiting Fukuoka Castle around the first week of April to see the cherry blossom season. The Fukuoka Tower is an example of the city’s modern architectural marvels and holds the record of being Japan’s tallest seaside tower. It offers clear and unobstructed views of the surrounding areas.
