“We are confident that with our three hotel groups—Okura Hotels & Resorts, Nikko Hotels International and Hotel JAL City—we will be able to match all guests’ requirements in Fukuoka.”

The close proximity of Fukuoka with Shanghai, Taipei and Seoul and other major cities including Osaka, Tokyo, and Sapporo will contribute to the success of the hotel.

As part of Fukuoka City’s urban redevelopment project Tenjin Big Bang, the dynamic Tenjin area, located beside the new hotel, is being revitalised.

This will offer easy access from Fukuoka airport and the city’s Hakata shinkansen station.

In June last year, Okura Nikko Hotel Management announced that Hotel JAL City Toyama will be opened in Japan in 2022.
