The subway access was excellent, and convenience stores were nearby,
making it a very satisfying location for a Fukuoka free & easy trip.

Transportation Costs
Fukuoka city center is close to the airport and distances are short,
making transportation efficient.
Since there were three of us, we used Uber when we had a lot of luggage,
and for the rest, we used the subway and bus.
