What area is best to stay in when visiting Fukuoka City?
Tenjin and Hakata are the two centers of Fukuoka and from where you have access (subway, airport, train, bus) to everywhere else in the city. Between the two, I would suggest a hotel in the Tenjin area. Akasaka, Daimyo are runners up in this category. If you want a relaxing time away from the crowd (or close to nearby Yahoo Dome or Marinoa’s outlet stores), the Momochi area (aka JAL Sea Hawk Hotel) is also a good place to consider.
