The Ritz-Carlton Fukuoka
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
The Ritz-Carlton Fukuoka is worth booking if you want the highest-rated five-star stay in central Fukuoka and the nightly rate does not worry you. Anyone on a normal budget should look at our other two picks, which cost a small fraction of the price.

This hotel is for travellers who put comfort and service first: couples on a special trip, business guests on a generous budget, or families who want family rooms in a five-star building with a pool, spa and gym. Guests consistently mention a friendly, attentive and professional team.
Skip it if price matters. At more than five times the city's sample median, it is hard to justify for a short stay spent mostly out exploring. Light sleepers should also read the noise notes below before booking.
Location and getting around
The address is Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City 2-6-50, Daimyo, Chuo Ward, in the Tenjin area. The location score is 9.6 out of 10, the strongest number on this page. Guests describe a convenient position near parks and food stalls, with direct train access to the airport.
Shōfuku-ji temple is about 2 km away, roughly 25 minutes on foot. Fukuoka Tower is around 4 km, about 50 minutes walking, and Fukuoka Mosque is about 4.5 km, around 56 minutes. Both of those are far, so plan on public transport or a taxi. All walking times are straight-line estimates.
What guests say
The score is 9.3 out of 10 from 275 reviews, joint 2nd of 16 eligible properties in the provider sample. That is a smaller review base than many big hotels, so the score is strong but rests on fewer stays.
Staff draw the most praise for a warm, professional welcome. Location is the other recurring plus. The one complaint we found concerns sound: acoustics are described as well designed, but construction and overhead noise can occur. Ask for a quiet room if this matters to you.
Price compared with our other two Fukuoka picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was €839.80 per night. The sample median was about €151 per night. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Toyo Hotel, was €83.80 per night with a score of 8.0 and 3 stars. Our Best Value pick, LAMP LIGHT BOOKS HOTEL fukuoka, was €134.09 per night and scores 8.6, also 3 stars. The gap is huge. You could stay about six nights at the Best Value pick for the cost of one night here. What the premium buys is the five-star rating, a higher guest score, and listed facilities including a gym, spa, pool, restaurant and family rooms. Breakfast is listed as buffet, but whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 16 eligible hotels in Fukuoka. For the Luxury slot we give priority to five-star hotels, and a four-star fallback needs at least 8.5. The Ritz-Carlton Fukuoka is an official five-star and holds one of the top two review scores in the sample, so it was the clear choice for this category.
Before you book
Confirm breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms, since both have not been assessed. Room size and renovation condition are also not confirmed. Check spa and pool opening times and any fees for your dates. If noise worries you, ask the hotel whether any construction is going on nearby during your stay.
