Getting Around Fukuoka by Subway
Luckily for you Fukuoka’s subway is probably one of the easiest to navigate in Japan. There is the main line, called the Kuko Line, that connects Fukuoka International Air Port to Meinohama, and there are two other less traveled lines called the Nanakuma Line and the Hakozaki Line.
