Sixty seconds before you land in Fukuoka.

This is one of the closest big-city airports in Japan: about three kilometres from Hakata Station.

From the domestic terminal, the subway is right there. About five minutes to Hakata, and about ten to Tenjin. Fares go by distance: buy at the ticket machines.

Arriving at the international terminal? It's on the other side of the runway. Take the inter-terminal shuttle bus to the domestic terminal first, or a bus straight to Hakata or Tenjin.
