Flight Guide from Rotorua to Fukuoka

What are the best places to stay in Fukuoka?

Hakata-Ku

This downtown neighbourhood is the perfect base for travellers who are looking to stay in the centre of the action in between return flights to Fukuoka. It’s a hub for both shopping and dining, and it’s also where you’ll find many top attractions while you’re holidaying on flights to Fukuoka. Visit spots like Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine, Tochoji Temple and the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. Hakata-Ku is well-connected to public transport, so you can easily make your way to other parts of the city from there.

Tenjin

Tenjin is located across the Naka River from Hakata, and it’s another popular area for travellers to temporarily call home. Much like Hakata-Ku, Tenjin is teeming with activities, including shops, restaurants and other tourist attractions. Highlights include ACROS Fukuoka and Suikyo Tenmangu Shrine. Another draw to Tenjin is its nightlife and incredible selection of karaoke bars. Have a look at hotels in Tenjin after booking cheap flights to Fukuoka if you’re interested in being surrounded by hustle and bustle, and you’d like to be within walking distance of many different attractions.

Nishijin

Nishijin is only about 10 minutes from the city centre by subway, but it has a completely different atmosphere. Where downtown Fukuoka is shiny and modern, Nishijin is traditional. It’s quieter than spots like Hakata and Tenjin, but there’s still plenty to do, including Fukuoka City Museum and the vibrant Nishijin Shopping Arcade. The neighbourhood is also located on Hakata Bay and has a few urban beaches. Consider staying in this area while visiting Japan on flights to Fukuoka to take in the more traditional and less touristy side to the city.

 

When is the best time to visit Fukuoka?

There are four distinct seasons to plan around when booking airfare to Fukuoka, and each one is unique.

Summer is hot and humid with daytime temperatures around 30°C, and it’s also the rainiest season to travel on return flights to Fukuoka. The summer months are the busiest time to travel into Fukuoka Airport (FUK), and many hotels increase their rates to match the high demand. Book your hotel room early to make sure you get the best price.

Enjoy warm weather without the summer crowds and rain by travelling on cheap flights to Fukuoka during the autumn and spring shoulder seasons. Autumn temperatures range between 17° and 27°C, and there’s some gorgeous foliage to see around the island of Kyushu at this time. Spring is also warm with temperatures of about 14° to 24°C. This is an especially beautiful time to plan flights into Fukuoka Airport (FUK) while the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

Save money and avoid crowds of tourists by travelling on winter flights to Fukuoka. Crowds thin out following the holiday period in December, so you can find incredible accommodation deals. Pack warm clothing if you book tickets to Fukuoka for a winter getaway as temperatures hit about 10°C during the day before falling to about 2°C at night, and there’s the occasional snowfall.

 

What’s on in Fukuoka?

Hakata Dontaku Port Festival

The Hakata Dontaku Port Festival is one of the most famous events to take place in Japan each year, and you may get the chance to attend by travelling on return flights to Fukuoka in the spring. The festivities take place over two days, and festival goers can watch parades featuring brightly coloured floats and locals in extravagant costumes. Dance performances, stand-up comedy, and food stalls are other elements of the festival. Book airfare to Fukuoka for travel at the beginning of May to attend the Hakata Dontaku Port Festival.

Nakasu Festival

This event hits the streets of Fukuoka’s entertainment district for a couple days each autumn. Parades make their way through the small neighbourhood of Nakasu with spirited floats and locals dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. There are also plenty of other forms of entertainment in addition to the parade, including live music and dance performances, a wide range of food stalls, and street parties with karaoke. Have a look at tickets to Fukuoka for travel in late October to attend Nakasu Festival.

Fukuoka Castle Sakura Festival

The spring season is one of the most beautiful times to visit Japan with cheap flights to Fukuoka thanks to the blooming cherry blossoms. The Fukuoka Castle Ruins is one of the best places to view cherry blossoms in the city. The Sakura Festival kicks off with a lighting ceremony, and light installations illuminate the castle’s walls for about two weeks afterwards. You can also try traditional Japanese foods like ramen, tempura, and yakitori from the 90 gourmet food stalls that set up on the castle grounds during the event. Take in the magic of the Fukuoka Castle Sakura Festival by travelling on flights to Fukuoka between late March and early April.
