BRT times, subway minutes, and five verified stays. - Author: Hideaki - Tags: Fukuoka, Hotels, #2026-09-fukuoka-01 Hotels near Hakata Port are really hotels near Hakata Station and Nakasu — a single BRT or bus ride from the ferry terminal. [Hotel Nikko Fukuoka](https://www.trip.com/hotels/fukuoka-hotel-detail-993535/hotel-nikko-fukuoka/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=hotels-near-hakata-port&trip%5Fsub3=D19120222&ref=nipponstays.com) (from ¥20,000), a 3-min walk from Hakata Station's Hakata Exit, works for both ferry and airport arrivals, with a pool and Shinkansen access. [JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Hakata Chuo](https://www.trip.com/hotels/fukuoka-hotel-detail-1935612/jr-kyushu-hotel-blossom-hakata-central/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=hotels-near-hakata-port&trip%5Fsub3=D19118521&ref=nipponstays.com) (from ¥10,000), a 2-min walk from the same exit, is the better-value pick and holds luggage before check-in; Nakasu hotels are an equal-distance alternative with rooftop and upper-floor public baths suited to a long overnight crossing. The condition that changes the answer: a very early flight or late-night landing, when an airport-adjacent hotel wins instead. *Some links in this guide are affiliate links. If you book through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.* Of the 5 hotels in this guide, all 5 provide luggage storage before check-in — a practical detail when you arrive from the overnight New Camellia service before your room is ready (checked July 2026). ## Two ways in from Korea The **New Camellia** ferry operates one daily round trip between Hakata Port International Terminal and Busan International Ferry Terminal. The daytime direction departs Hakata at 12:30 (confirm the current season's schedule with the operator before booking) with a crossing of approximately six hours; the overnight direction departs Busan in the evening with a crossing of approximately nine hours. Schedules can vary with weather and season; always confirm current times directly with the operator when booking. Flights from Seoul (Gimpo and Gimhae airports) and Busan Gimhae into **Fukuoka Airport** take under an hour in the air. The airport sits 2.6 km east of Hakata Station, directly on the city subway's Kuko Line — an unusually central position for an international airport. That proximity means the transport calculation after landing is simple: subway and walk. The two arrival points are roughly 6 km apart. If you arrive by ferry you land near the waterfront west of the city centre; by air you land east of Hakata Station. Hotels near Hakata Station work for both, but understanding the specific access from each terminal helps you choose your exact area and room type. ## By ferry: Hakata Port International Terminal After clearing immigration at Hakata Port International Terminal, your options to reach central Fukuoka are: - **Bus 88**: catch it at the F Bus Stop in front of Hakata Station Center Building when going toward the port; on arrival at the port it departs back toward Hakata Station. Fare from Hakata Station: ¥260. - **BRT (Bus Rapid Transit)**: runs every 15 minutes between the port, Hakata Station, and Tenjin. Fare to Tenjin: ¥210. - **Bus 80**: from the 2A Bus Stop in front of Tenjin Solaria Stage — useful if you are heading directly to a Tenjin area hotel. - **Taxi**: approximately 20 minutes and around ¥1,600 to Hakata Station in normal traffic. A practical choice after the overnight crossing if you arrive at dawn and want to reach your hotel without navigating buses with luggage. There is no subway station at the port. A hotel near Hakata Station or in the Nakasu area is one direct bus ride from the terminal and gives you access to the subway network, Hakata Station's Shinkansen connections, and the city's main dining areas. It also cuts your journey time on sailing day if you need to catch the midday ferry departure. ## By air: Fukuoka Airport subway The Fukuoka City Subway Kuko Line connects the airport directly to the city centre. Board at the domestic terminal (a free inter-terminal shuttle connects international arrivals; allow around five minutes for the transfer). The journey takes approximately five minutes to Hakata Station for ¥260, or about eleven minutes to Tenjin Station (Tenjin) for ¥260\. Trains run from approximately 05:30 to 00:25. This means almost every hotel in central Fukuoka is within a 15-minute door-to-door trip from the international arrivals hall. For a detailed look at hotels closest to the airport itself — useful if you have a very early departure or a very late landing — see our [hotels near Fukuoka Airport guide](https://www.nipponstays.com/hotels-near-fukuoka-airport/). ## Best hotels for a Hakata Port arrival or early ferry back The picks below are in the Hakata Station and Nakasu zone: all are a single BRT or bus ride from Hakata Port International Terminal, and all are within a short walk of the subway. They cover a range of budgets. Prices vary by season and availability. | Name | Area | Price range | Best for | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | [The Royal Park Canvas Fukuoka Nakasu](https://www.trip.com/hotels/fukuoka-hotel-detail-103101862/the-royal-park-canvas-fukuoka-nakasu/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=hotels-near-hakata-port&trip%5Fsub3=D19119256&ref=nipponstays.com) | Nakasu | from ¥18,000 (varies by season) | Mid-range comfort close to both Hakata and Tenjin, rooftop bath | | [Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Nakasu](https://www.trip.com/hotels/fukuoka-hotel-detail-56699615/mitsui-garden-hotel-fukuoka-nakasu/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=hotels-near-hakata-port&trip%5Fsub3=D19120215&ref=nipponstays.com) | Nakasu | from ¥13,000 (varies by season) | Public bath on 13F, central Nakasu location, post-ferry recovery | | [Hotel Nikko Fukuoka](https://www.trip.com/hotels/fukuoka-hotel-detail-993535/hotel-nikko-fukuoka/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=hotels-near-hakata-port&trip%5Fsub3=D19120222&ref=nipponstays.com) | Hakata | from ¥20,000 (varies by season) | Upper mid-range, 3-min walk from Hakata Station Hakata Exit, pool | | [JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Hakata Chuo](https://www.trip.com/hotels/fukuoka-hotel-detail-1935612/jr-kyushu-hotel-blossom-hakata-central/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=hotels-near-hakata-port&trip%5Fsub3=D19118521&ref=nipponstays.com) | Hakata | from ¥10,000 (varies by season) | Good value, 2-min walk from Hakata Station Hakata Exit | | [Hakata Terminal Hotel](https://www.trip.com/hotels/fukuoka-hotel-detail-705466/hakata-terminal-hotel/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=hotels-near-hakata-port&trip%5Fsub3=D19122392&ref=nipponstays.com) | Hakata | from ¥6,500 (varies by season) | Budget, near Hakata Station Chikushi Exit, luggage storage | ### The Royal Park Canvas Fukuoka Nakasu Opened in 2023, this hotel is about a 2-min walk from Nakasu-Kawabata Station Exit 1, placing it mid-point between Hakata Station and Tenjin. That means direct BRT access to the port in one direction and the Tenjin shopping and dining area in the other. The rooftop garden and upper-floor public bath are a practical reason to book here after a long overnight crossing. Luggage storage is available on arrival. [Check rates](https://www.trip.com/hotels/fukuoka-hotel-detail-103101862/the-royal-park-canvas-fukuoka-nakasu/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=hotels-near-hakata-port&trip%5Fsub3=D19119256&ref=nipponstays.com). ### Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Nakasu Also in Nakasu, about a 2-min walk from the nearest subway stop, Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Nakasu has a 13th-floor public bath with city views — the kind of feature that makes a post-ferry morning worthwhile. The hotel has a strong track record in recent guest reviews for cleanliness and breakfast quality. It is one of the better mid-range options in the area for guests arriving by sea. [Check rates](https://www.trip.com/hotels/fukuoka-hotel-detail-56699615/mitsui-garden-hotel-fukuoka-nakasu/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=hotels-near-hakata-port&trip%5Fsub3=D19120215&ref=nipponstays.com). ### Hotel Nikko Fukuoka Hotel Nikko Fukuoka is a 3-min walk from Hakata Station Hakata Exit, on the east (Shinkansen) side of the station. It is an upper mid-range property with a swimming pool and on-site restaurant. Its position at Hakata Station means you can take the BRT direct to the port for the midday ferry departure and connect to the Shinkansen for onward travel within Japan on the same day. [Check rates](https://www.trip.com/hotels/fukuoka-hotel-detail-993535/hotel-nikko-fukuoka/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=hotels-near-hakata-port&trip%5Fsub3=D19120222&ref=nipponstays.com). ### JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Hakata Chuo A 2-min walk from Hakata Station Hakata Exit, this business hotel offers good value for a Hakata Station address. Check-in is at 14:00 and luggage storage is available beforehand, which is useful if the BRT drops you at Hakata Station before your room is ready. Starting in mid-2025 some rooms accommodate up to three guests, making it workable for small groups arriving by ferry. [Check rates](https://www.trip.com/hotels/fukuoka-hotel-detail-1935612/jr-kyushu-hotel-blossom-hakata-central/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=hotels-near-hakata-port&trip%5Fsub3=D19118521&ref=nipponstays.com). ### Hakata Terminal Hotel Near Hakata Station Chikushi Exit (the west side of the station toward Hakata Bus Terminal), Hakata Terminal Hotel is a compact, partly automated business hotel that is strong on value. The Chikushi Exit is also the side closest to the bus stops connecting to Hakata Port, which marginally shortens the walk when you are catching an early BRT to the terminal. Front-desk luggage storage is available. [Check rates](https://www.trip.com/hotels/fukuoka-hotel-detail-705466/hakata-terminal-hotel/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=hotels-near-hakata-port&trip%5Fsub3=D19122392&ref=nipponstays.com). ## Best hotels for a Fukuoka Airport arrival from Korea If you are flying in from Seoul or Busan, the five-minute subway ride from the airport means most of central Fukuoka is effectively just as convenient as staying near the terminals. Any of the Hakata Station–area hotels above are on or adjacent to the Kuko Line, so the journey from the international arrivals hall to your hotel front desk is around 20 minutes total including the inter-terminal shuttle. For guests who want to be within immediate walking distance of the airport — either because of a very early departure or a very late-night arrival after the last subway — see our full [hotels near Fukuoka Airport](https://www.nipponstays.com/hotels-near-fukuoka-airport/) guide. That article covers hotels directly adjacent to the domestic terminal and within the airport area itself. If this is your first night in Fukuoka after arriving from Korea, I would pick a Hakata Station–area hotel from the list above rather than the airport zone. You get the same access to the airport by subway in the morning, and you wake up inside the city with the food streets, Hakata Station's restaurant floors, and the subway network within easy reach.

It is more reliable to go straight to your hotel and leave bags at the front desk. Most hotels listed above offer same-day luggage storage regardless of whether your room is ready. ### Catching the daytime ferry from Hakata New Camellia's daytime sailing departs Hakata at 12:30 — confirm the current sailing time with the operator when booking. Check-in closes at 11:30, so plan to reach the terminal late morning. Allow at least 30–45 minutes from your hotel to the terminal to account for the BRT ride from Hakata Station and the time needed at departure formalities. If you are staying at a Hakata Station hotel, ask about an early-morning luggage drop in case your check-out time and the boarding window overlap closely. ### Arriving on the overnight service The overnight direction departs Busan in the evening and arrives at Hakata Port early in the morning after a crossing of approximately nine hours. If you are arriving into Fukuoka on this service, you will clear immigration at the port in the early hours. Hotels near Hakata Station can hold your luggage on arrival, and BRT buses run from the port from early morning to connect with incoming ferries. Confirm the current arrival time and first BRT connection directly with New Camellia before travelling. ### Airport subway first and last trains The first Kuko Line subway from Fukuoka Airport runs from approximately 05:30; the last train from Hakata Station back toward the airport departs around 00:25\. If your flight lands after the last subway, a taxi from the airport to Hakata Station runs approximately ¥1,400–¥1,700 depending on traffic. ### Inter-terminal shuttle at Fukuoka Airport International arrivals land at the international terminal, but the Kuko subway entrance is at the domestic terminal. A free shuttle bus connects the two; it runs frequently but adds approximately five minutes to your journey. If you are catching an early morning flight, leave extra time when heading back to the international terminal by shuttle. ### Currency and SIM on arrival ATMs and currency exchange counters are available at both Hakata Port International Terminal and Fukuoka Airport. Have ¥260 or ¥210 in yen ready for the BRT from the port to Hakata Station or Tenjin. IC transport cards (Suica, Nimoca) accepted on the BRT and city subway save time if you plan to use transit frequently during your stay. ## FAQ: Hotels Near Hakata Port ### How do I get from Hakata Port International Terminal to central Fukuoka? The BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is the most practical option: it runs every 15 minutes between the port, Hakata Station, and Tenjin, with a fare of ¥210 to Tenjin. Bus 88 also connects Hakata Port to Hakata Station (fare ¥260). A taxi takes approximately 20 minutes and costs around ¥1,600 to Hakata Station. There is no subway station at the port itself, so all routes involve a bus or taxi first leg before you reach the subway network. ### Which hotel is best for an early-morning New Camellia ferry departure? Hotels in the Hakata Station and Nakasu zone are a single BRT or bus ride from Hakata Port International Terminal — generally 20 minutes or less to the terminal. The Royal Park Canvas Fukuoka Nakasu, Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Nakasu, and Hotel Nikko Fukuoka are all in this zone. BRT buses run from the port from early morning to connect with incoming ferry schedules; always confirm the current departure time and first connection directly with New Camellia before travelling. ### Is Fukuoka Airport or Hakata Port closer to the hotels in this guide? Both arrival points are within roughly 20 minutes of the Hakata Station and Nakasu hotel cluster. Fukuoka Airport is on the subway Kuko Line — five minutes to Hakata Station for ¥260\. Hakata Port is served by BRT and bus, adding a few minutes over the subway, but the journey is still straightforward. Hotels near Hakata Station work equally well for either entry point, which is the main reason this zone is recommended for Korea-to-Fukuoka travellers arriving by both ferry and flight. ### Do the hotels hold luggage if I arrive early from the overnight New Camellia ferry? All properties listed in this guide offer luggage storage before check-in. The overnight New Camellia service from Busan arrives in the early morning hours; hotels in the Hakata Station and Nakasu zone will hold your bags from arrival so you can use the city while your room is being prepared. Standard check-in across these properties is from 15:00\. A quick phone call or email confirming your early arrival is good practice, particularly on busy weekends. ## Trip Essentials for Fukuoka Things worth booking before you land, all in English: - **eSIM** — [Airalo's Japan eSIM](https://airalo.tpm.lv/2TWpibQS?ref=nipponstays.com): install it at home and data works as soon as you switch off airplane mode at Fukuoka Airport.
