Fukuoka, the friendly capital of Kyushu, blends a modern seaside skyline, ancient shrines, and a legendary food culture into one relaxed and walkable city. To make planning easy, we have gathered all of our Fukuoka content into one master guide, linking every travel guide and hotel recommendation we have published for the city and its surroundings.

How to Use This Guide

Begin with the individual guides to decide which sights and day trips appeal most, then turn to the hotel guides to choose a convenient, good-value base. The hub post ties the sightseeing together, while the hotel guides break down where to stay by area.

Make the Most of Fukuoka

Well connected by air and the Shinkansen, Fukuoka is compact enough to enjoy in two or three days. That leaves time for the tower and city centre, a shrine visit to Dazaifu, and plenty of memorable meals at ramen shops and riverside yatai.
