Fukuoka, the gateway to Kyushu, allows you to experience the diverse charms of Kyushu more comprehensively by combining your travel itinerary with Oita, Kumamoto, and other areas. If you want to create a more fulfilling itinerary, we recommend not only renting a car in Fukuoka but also choosing accommodations close to nature in Oita or Kumamoto to enjoy a relaxing trip for both mind and body.
Here are four accommodations located near Fukuoka City that offer convenient transportation and allow you to fully enjoy Fukuoka's history, culture, and natural scenery.
The first accommodation we'd like to introduce is "Itoshima Glamping SDGs Village"
This is "Earth MIRAI". This place is highly recommended for those who want to thoroughly enjoy the natural scenery of Fukuoka, especially travelers who want to enjoy the ocean views of Fukuoka and Itoshima by rental car.
You can choose from a variety of room types, including dome tents and campervans with ocean views, and even aerial tents that appear to float in the middle of the forest.
They offer BBQ menus featuring plenty of local Fukuoka ingredients, and there's a free hot spring facility nearby. You can satisfy both your taste buds and your mind and body, and fully relax and enjoy yourself.
If you're looking for accommodation with stunning ocean views in Fukuoka's Itoshima area, Glamping & Sauna Resort -Aroma Olive-, situated on a hilltop, is an option you shouldn't miss. This luxury accommodation offers exclusive use for only one group per day.
Our pride and joy here is our Finnish-made pine barrel sauna. Outside the window, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the sunset sinking below the horizon, allowing you to experience the ultimate relaxation.
The BBQ menu offered with your stay also features many high-quality local ingredients from Fukuoka, making it well worth trying.
For those who want to fully enjoy Fukuoka's abundant nature while sightseeing in Fukuoka City and Kitakyushu City, we recommend staying at "GLAMPDOME Fukuoka Fukutsu".
This glamping facility, located along the coast, not only offers stunning ocean views but also provides a variety of culinary experiences, such as coffee bean roasting and smoking.
Here, you can enjoy classic Fukuoka delicacies such as Hakata Mizutaki (chicken hot pot) and Mentaiko (spicy cod roe), and furthermore, you can enjoy a delicious and luxurious stay with a lavish BBQ featuring local Fukuoka ingredients.
"Marutella"Located about an hour's drive from Fukuoka city center, you can also stop by the famous tourist spot, Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, along the way. It's perfect for travelers who want to enjoy Fukuoka's main tourist attractions while also connecting with nature.
The city of Ukiha, where this accommodation is located, is known as the "Fruit Kingdom," and you can enjoy the fun of picking various fruits throughout the year.
The facility features connectable dome tent rooms that can accommodate up to 8 people, making it perfect for families and friends traveling by rental car.
If you're not just staying in Fukuoka, but want to explore both Fukuoka and Oita by rental car to make your Kyushu trip even more fulfilling, please check out the following three accommodation options!
If you're planning a trip to Fukuoka and want to explore Kyushu even more deeply by rental car, we recommend staying at "GLAMPING CABIN Ajimu" in Oita.
This accommodation is situated on a vast plot of land overlooking vineyards and features cabin-style (log house) rooms. Each room has a private garden and a dedicated BBQ area, allowing you to relax and enjoy nature and fine dining at your own pace.
If you want to enjoy the magnificent nature of Kyushu to your heart's content in addition to sightseeing in Fukuoka, why not consider "Wenavillage Kujyu," an accommodation located near Aso Kujyu National Park?
The guest rooms here feature a log cabin design, offering a free and elegant glamping experience.
Each guest room is equipped with a private open-air bath, allowing you to fully relax and rejuvenate while being embraced by the beauty of nature.
Besides a trip to Fukuoka, if you're looking for stunning Japanese scenery and plan to rent a car to head to Yabakei, then check out Glamping Hill in Oita.
I recommend staying at "Hachimensansou". This accommodation is located about a 10-minute drive from Yabakei and offers a very private and special lodging experience, as it only accepts one group per day.
The property also features a large public bath where you can relax in the hot springs while enjoying a spectacular view, allowing you to thoroughly relax your mind and body in a spacious environment.
For those interested in Fukuoka and also wanting to visit Kumamoto to fully experience the charms of Kyushu, we highly recommend the following two accommodations where you can enjoy the natural scenery of Kumamoto.
If you're planning a trip to Kumamoto as well as Fukuoka, why not consider staying at "Glamping Resort Kumamoto Yoshimuta"?
All guest rooms at this accommodation feature spacious private gardens, offering panoramic views of the open highland scenery and the nighttime cityscape of Kumamoto.
For meals, you can choose a glamping BBQ using carefully selected ingredients from Kumamoto Prefecture, allowing you to enjoy local Japanese food culture.
If you want to experience a hot spring during your trip to Fukuoka, we recommend staying at "ACONCAGUA RESORTS" in Kumamoto. This accommodation offers natural hot springs with water flowing directly from the source.
The hotel also features an infinity pool with magnificent views of the Aso mountains, allowing guests to enjoy a truly elegant experience along with the sophisticated multi-course meals offered.
Fukuoka is a popular tourist destination that can be enjoyed not only for long-term stays but also for day trips. It attracts many tourists from both within Japan and overseas.
While you can enjoy cutting-edge shopping and entertainment, there are also many historical and traditional spots such as shrines and temples, allowing you to fully enjoy a variety of attractions.
This is one of Fukuoka's most popular spots, where you can enjoy flowers throughout the four seasons.
In spring, fields of nemophila and tulips spread across the landscape, and in autumn, vibrant cosmos flowers bloom, allowing you to enjoy different breathtaking scenery in each season.
This historic castle town is also known as "Water Town" or "Venice of Kyushu."
The famous "river cruise (donko boat)" allows you to leisurely tour the canals while listening to the boatman's commentary. It's a popular tourist experience where you can enjoy the unique atmosphere of a waterside town while admiring the white-walled townscape and the nature that changes with the seasons.
Fukuoka Prefecture has long been known as "one of Japan's leading gastronomic capitals." Surrounded by fertile land and a rich sea, it boasts an abundance of fresh vegetables, high-quality meats, and seafood. Step into the city and you'll find signs for famous dishes like "motsunabe" (offal hot pot) and "yakitori" (grilled chicken skewers), making it a delightful area for foodies.
This is a representative hot pot dish from Fukuoka, featuring beef and pork small and large intestines (offal) as the main ingredients, simmered with plenty of cabbage and chives. The rich miso-based soup, in particular, is a blend of garlic, chili peppers, and the delicious flavor of the fat released from the plump offal, resulting in a rich yet not heavy taste with no unpleasant odor whatsoever. The local way to enjoy it is to add champon noodles to the concentrated soup at the end and savor every last drop.
The most distinctive features of Hakata ramen, which is famous throughout Japan, are its "milky white, rich broth" and "extra-thin straight noodles," which are created by simmering pork bones for a long time. This creamy broth is not made by adding milk or butter, but rather by thoroughly emulsifying the collagen in the pork bones over high heat. Toppings such as the crunchy texture of "wood ear mushrooms," the system of choosing the firmness of the noodles, and the "kaedama" (extra noodles) culture are also points that travelers should definitely experience.
Fukuoka City boasts a highly developed public transportation system, with excellent access from Fukuoka Airport to the city center. However, to fully enjoy the charms of the suburbs, such as the beautiful coastline of Itoshima or the picturesque water town of Yanagawa, a road trip by rental car offers unparalleled flexibility and is highly recommended.
Surrounded by the sea and mountains, the Itoshima Peninsula is dotted with beautiful natural scenic spots. Stylish cafes perfect for social media photos, unique art studios, and general stores line the coastline, making it a very popular and fantastic driving destination. Itoshima is also famous for its oysters, and in winter, oyster huts pop up around the fishing port where you can enjoy freshly caught oysters grilled on the spot.
Flourished as a castle town during the Edo period, Yanagawa is one of Japan's leading "water towns," with canals (waterways) still crisscrossing the streets. You can enjoy a luxurious time leisurely cruising down the river in a "donko boat" pulled by a boatman using a pole, soaking up the sounds of the water and the atmosphere of the historic castle town. After enjoying the picturesque scenery, a classic travel plan loved by tourists from both Japan and abroad is to savor Yanagawa's specialty, "unagi no seiro mushi" (steamed eel in a bamboo steamer).
If you're planning a glamping trip, we recommend renting a car and driving, as it offers the best value for money. Many glamping destinations are 30 to 60 minutes or more away from Hakata Station or Fukuoka Airport, and some areas have limited public transportation. Renting a car will not only save you a lot of time, but you can also stop your car whenever you want to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Below, we introduce three of the most recommended car rental companies in Fukuoka for travelers from Taiwan and Hong Kong. All three companies offer services in Traditional Chinese and have branches near Fukuoka Airport and Hakata Station. Don't forget these three essential items before renting a car!Original driver's license, Japanese translation of driver's license, original passportTravelers in Hong Kong and Macau are required to present a valid international driving permit and their original passport when renting a car.
Toyota Rent a Car boasts the largest network of branches throughout Japan, and with a service counter located in the international terminal lobby of Fukuoka Airport, you can complete the procedures immediately after clearing customs. Their vehicles are well-maintained and consist of relatively new models. All vehicles are equipped with multilingual voice navigation, making it easy to travel around even if you don't understand Japanese.
Taiwanese travelers can book directly through the official website in Traditional Chinese and purchase an additional peace-of-mind plan that waives the NOC (Non-Operation Charge), which we highly recommend. In the event of vehicle damage, you will be exempt from paying the business interruption compensation fee, which would normally amount to tens of thousands of yen, allowing you to enjoy your trip with greater peace of mind. Furthermore, there is a branch in front of Hakata Station, making it convenient for travelers who want to sightsee in the city first before heading to the suburbs. This is ideal for those driving a rental car in Japan for the first time, those who prioritize service quality, and those who want to complete insurance procedures in one go before departure.
Times Car Rental's biggest selling point is its unique "Super Safety Package".
This is a comprehensive insurance plan called the "Package." The coverage includes exemption from the Non-Operation Charge (NOC), zero deductible, and even covers tire punctures and damage to the in-car navigation system. It offers the most comprehensive coverage among the three companies, making it the best choice for elderly travelers and families with children. The rental car website has pages in Traditional Chinese and Cantonese, allowing for direct booking. It's suitable for families, those who prioritize comprehensive insurance, or travelers with flexible rental car needs.
ORIX is the second-largest car rental brand in Japan, with approximately 1,000 locations nationwide. It is ideal for travelers planning trips that start in Fukuoka and end in Kumamoto, or for multi-prefecture Kyushu trips that pass through Oita and Nagasaki. Free shuttle service is available at each rental location; after arriving at Fukuoka Airport's international terminal, simply contact the dedicated hotline and you'll be in your car in about 5-8 minutes. Many ORIX staff members are fluent in Chinese, English, and Korean. When renting a car, you can add an ETC device, eliminating the hassle of stopping at highway toll booths to prepare cash. Travelers who want to travel smoothly on Kyushu's highways can also purchase the "Kyushu Expressway Pass" when renting a car. This pass allows unlimited use of most of Kyushu's highways and is very cost-effective. Also, if your itinerary changes and you need to return the car early, ORIX will refund the rental fee for the corresponding period. It is highly suitable for those planning large-scale trips across multiple prefectures in Kyushu, those who value communication and service, and travelers who need to drop off their cars at different locations.
