Fukuoka Map of Attractions, Areas and Day Trips

Fukuoka reads as one confusing list of names and resolves into something simple the moment it is drawn. The Naka river splits the centre in two: Hakata and the station on the east, Tenjin and the shopping on the west, Nakasu on the sandbank between them with the food stalls along its edge. North of both is the bay, with the tower and the beach at Momochi and the ferries out to the islands. South is Dazaifu, west is the Itoshima coast, and everything else is a day trip. This page puts every place on the site in one picture so you can group your days by geography instead of by list order.

The City on One Live Map

Start here if you are still deciding where to stay. The embed below is the ordinary interactive map, useful for judging a hotel against a subway line or working out whether two things are genuinely walkable. Fukuoka distances mislead in both directions. Hakata to Tenjin looks far on a list of stops and is two subway stations. Nokonoshima looks close and is a bus plus a ferry. And Hakata is not a separate town from Fukuoka at all, however much the station name suggests otherwise.

Every Place on This Site, Plotted to Scale

This one is drawn from the site's own data rather than served from a tile provider. Every point is a surveyed coordinate geocoded against OpenStreetMap, plotted at true scale with the bay, the river, the parks and the street grid underneath it, so the distances you read off it are real, in metres and kilometres. The chips dim the groups you are not looking at instead of removing them, because a map that deletes the parks when you ask about shrines is no longer telling you where anything is. Each numbered card opens that place's own page.

Where the day starts, and the forty-three mapped points around it A true-scale plot of 44 real coordinates read from OpenStreetMap, north upwards. Hakata Station Area is the ringed point. Every other point is one mapped place, coloured by which set it belongs to and numbered to match the cards below. The grid squares are 10 km across. Forty points sit within a few metres of a neighbour, so they have been nudged apart just far enough to stay readable. A dashed line runs back to the true position. Distances on the cards are straight-line figures between the mapped coordinates, not road distances and not walking times.

Filter Every Experience by Length, Rating and Kind

Every figure in this table comes from the operator's own listing: the rating, the review count, the stated duration and the from-price. The live listing stays the authority on availability, and that is where you book.

What the listing includes

Inclusion labels come from each listing's own title, so they narrow the list rather than promise anything: a tour with no label may still include the thing you care about. Prices are from-prices on the live booking page and shift with date and group size.
