Overview
Richmond Hotel Fukuoka Tenjin is located on the Watanabe-dori side of Fukuoka-Tenjin, within easy walking distance of the area's shopping streets, department stores, restaurants, and rail links. It is closer to Tenjin-minami Station and Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station than to the Airport Line platforms at Tenjin Station, so the best route depends on where you are arriving from and how much luggage you have.
This location works especially well for travelers who want to stay near Tenjin's commercial core, use the bus terminal, or move between several rail options on foot. If your trip is centered on Shinkansen departures or the simplest subway ride to the airport, Hakata may be the easier base.
Rooms
Room categories include Moderate, Deluxe Double, Standard Twin, Hollywood Twin, and Richmond Twin options. Rooms are set up for business and city travel, with desks, internet access, air purifiers, mobile-phone chargers, large TVs, and duvet-style beds.
The appeal is straightforward comfort rather than decoration. Choose by bed layout and floor space, particularly if you are sharing a room, working during the stay, or spending more than one night.
Facilities
Facilities cover the essentials for a compact city stay, including a lobby area, microwave, ice machine, coin laundry, vending machines, and an on-site mechanical parking facility with limited spaces available on a first-come basis.
The laundry and microwave are helpful for longer stays and low-fuss travel days. Drivers should review the parking terms before arrival, since on-site capacity is limited.
Dining
Breakfast is served in the first-floor restaurant from early morning to mid-morning. The buffet lists more than 60 items, combining Japanese and Western staples with Fukuoka dishes such as mizutaki, sesame sea bream, mentaiko, and chicken rice.
For travelers who want to start the day before heading into Tenjin, Hakata, or other parts of the city, breakfast is one of the hotel's stronger conveniences.
Location and transport
Tenjin-minami Station on the Nanakuma Line and Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station are each about three minutes away on foot. Tenjin Station on the Airport Line is about ten minutes away and provides the most direct subway route to Fukuoka Airport.
The Tenjin Expressway Bus Terminal, Tenjin Underground Mall, department stores, and dining streets are also nearby. For Hakata Station, use the Nanakuma Line from Tenjin-minami or the Airport Line from Tenjin, depending on your route and luggage.
Airport access
Fukuoka Airport access is by subway or taxi rather than hotel shuttle. The direct rail route uses the Airport Line from Tenjin Station, while Tenjin-minami can also work with a subway transfer via Hakata.
Because the hotel is closer to the south side of Tenjin, travelers with heavy bags may want to compare the walk to Tenjin Station with taking a taxi or using another route.
Why stay here
Stay here if your Fukuoka plans revolve around Tenjin shopping, dining, buses, and south-side station access rather than immediate Shinkansen platforms. It is a good match for business trips, city breaks, concerts, and travelers who value a full breakfast before heading out.
The surrounding district adds to the appeal. Tenjin brings department stores, underground shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and Nishitetsu rail links into one area, so the hotel works well when evenings in the city matter as much as daytime transport.
Good to know
The hotel has announced a closure for full renovation from August 17 to December 23, 2026, with reopening planned for December 24, 2026. Check booking availability carefully if you are planning a stay around those dates.
