Welcome to Fukuoka, on the northern tip of Kyushu Island, it is western Japan’s most happening city and gateway to the country. Set amid splendid natural diversity – bordered by mountains, flanked by sea, and dotted with hot springs – the metropolis is an exciting hub of modern city life. Rich with tradition and modern cultural attraction, contemporary art, architecture, shopping, and cuisine complement centuries-old temples and shrines. 

For dining, Fukuoka is renowned throughout Japan for its ramen, and no trip to the city is complete without tasting the distinctive noodles and broth dish. 

 

For shopping, just steps from our hotel, Hakata Station, often referred to as the “front gate of Kyushu”, offering a wide variety of shops, Tenjin Area, the number one downtown area in Kyushu.
