Fukuoka Airport is Japan’s closest airport to Korea, offering cheap direct flights to Seoul and Busan while providing pleasant commodities.

Japan’s Fukuoka and Korea’s Busan have always been the ports that unite these two nations. In fact, you can even catch a ferry both ways!

During one of my trips to Korea in 2023, I found the cheapest tickets were offered from Fukuoka Airport located in south Japan, and despite residing in Osaka at the time, making the trip down south proved to be my most cost-efficient option.

From awesome mountain views to delicious Japanese restaurants and a comfortable lounge area, Fukuoka Airport has everything a man needs!

Cozy Restaurants & Shops

Most tourists that visit Japan enter through Tokyo’s Haneda and Narita Airports or Osaka’s Kansai and Itami Airports. As such, Fukuoka Airport is more low profile than the others, but that’s why I’m here to show you what this cool funky little airport is actually like!

I do not use these terms lightly, for this airport really is a lot smaller than those…
