Hotel Nikko Fukuoka (360) - Gateway Luxury at Hakata Station

Twelve banquet rooms—including a 1,500-pax Plaza Hall—sit three minutes’ walk from JR Hakata. Trains, subways and shinkansen deliver delegates weather-proof; airport is one stop. The hotel’s banquet brigade spotlights Saga beef and Karatsu ware in menus and table-scapes.

Delegates step off bullet trains into a tatami-accented lobby where koto melodies float. After sessions they sample yatai-style street food re-imagined as canapé towers, then photograph porcelain art walls curated by local kiln masters, merging Kyūshū craft with cosmopolitan ease.
