Practical tips

Fukuoka is a genuinely easy taxi city — GO covers it just as well as it does Tokyo or Osaka, and there are usually enough cabs cruising the compact downtown core around Tenjin and Hakata that street-hailing works fine too. The airport sits unusually close to the city center, so even skipping the subway and taking a taxi straight from arrivals is a short, uncomplicated ride rather than the long haul you'd get from Narita or Kansai. Card and IC-card payment are common in Fukuoka's cabs, though it's still worth carrying some cash as a backup for older vehicles. Tipping isn't customary here either, in keeping with the rest of Japan — pay the metered fare and nothing more.
