Fukuoka Airport Station

This is the only subway line in Japan that directly links to an airport. Although Toei Asakusa Line trains in Tokyo also serve airports (Narita and Haneda), those are not the stations of the Asakusa Line itself. Rather, they are the stations of suburban lines that the Asakusa Line has through services with.

The Airport Line goes through many important areas of the city, namely Nishijin, Tenjin, Hakata, and the airport.
