By Subway (to Fukuoka-Kuko Subway Station 福岡空港地下鉄駅)

• In Tenjin, find your way to the Tenjin Subway Station. The closer you are to the intersection of Watanabe-dori and Meiji-dori, the closer you are to the heart of the Tenjin Subway Station. Perhaps the closest street-level subway entrances would be either at the front of the Fukuoka Building 福岡ビル or in front of the Tenjin Building 天神ビル which is on the opposite side of the intersection.
• Upon descending through either of these entrances, you’ll find yourself at a huge, underground pedestrian intersection. You are in between the East and West Subway Entrances. Follow the signs to either entrance. If you need help, at the center of this busy intersection is an Information Booth 案内所.
• Purchase a ￥250 ticket (for Fukuoka-Kuko 福岡空港) from any of the automated subway ticket vending machines lining the entrance. Instructions are also in English.
• You’ll need to line up on the platform whose trains are headed east (Fukuoka-Kuko 福岡空港 on the Kuko-sen 空港線).
• Caution:

1. Do not use the west-bound (Meinohama – Karatsu 姪浜・唐津方面)
2. Avoid using the east-bound Kaizuka Line 貝塚線 – The transfer at Nakasu-Kawabata to get back on an airport-bound train can be a little confusing.

• Here’s a weekday timetable for east-bound trains. Caution! Do not board those times with a “貝” over the number – Those trains go onto a different line.
• Take an airport-bound train, and you’ll reach Fukuoka Airport five stops away (11 minutes). At your first stop, you’ll hear announcements for passengers transferring to the Kaizuka Line貝塚線 – Just ignore the announcements and stay on your train. Also, don’t follow the crowd out of the train at Hakata. Stay on the train for two more stops.
• Upon exiting Fukuoka-Kuko Station ticket gate, you’ll find yourself at the B1F level of Domestic Passenger Terminal 2. Proceed to the 1F via escalator, stairs or elevator. Here’s an overview map of the airport.
• To get to the International Terminal, use this map to locate the shuttle bus stops; or find the “Tourist Information” (1F) counter and ask where the International Terminal shuttle-bus stops are. Buses run between the domestic and international terminals every 10 minutes and are free.
• If you need help, General Information Desks are located throughout the Airport.

By Taxi

• The daytime taxi fee to get from Tenjin to the Airport International Terminal would run you over ￥2200 (not using the City Expressway), and the ride would take about 18-30 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Rates increase 20% between the hours of 23:00 and 5:00.
