Once you step out of the arrival hall, your next worry is "how do I get to the hotel in an unfamiliar city with a heavy golf bag?" Don't worry. A driver from the professional pickup company partnered with Charm Tour will be waiting for you right in front of the arrival exit at Fukuoka Airport. Just find the name board (placard) the driver is holding, marked with the "Charm Tour" logo and your name in English, and from there all you have to do is get in the car. This chapter lays out where you'll meet and the flow to the hotel.
Charm Tour dedicated pickup — door to door
From Fukuoka Airport to your accommodation, Hotel Century Hills (Asakura City, Fukuoka Prefecture), is about 50–60 minutes by car. Switching between trains and buses would mean transferring with your golf bag in hand, which is realistically difficult. The Charm Tour partner pickup loads your luggage in front of the arrival exit and takes you straight to the hotel entrance. No separate booking is needed — just have the meeting details you were given ready.
| Operated by | Charm Tour partner professional pickup company (dedicated vehicle dispatched) |
|---|---|
| Route | Fukuoka Airport international terminal 1F arrival lobby → Hotel Century Hills (Asakura City) |
| Travel time | About 50–60 minutes (varies with traffic and time of day) |
| Meeting point | The meeting point in front of the international terminal arrival exit |
| Driver's sign | A name board (placard) marked with the "Charm Tour" logo + the customer's name in English |
The pickup vehicle is included in your Charm Tour package, so there's no fee to pay on site. The vehicle type (sedan or van) is dispatched to match the number of golf bags and suitcases, so even a group with a lot of luggage travels in one trip.

Thanks to the Access Hall opened in December 2024, the flow through Fukuoka Airport's international terminal is much cleaner. After deplaning, follow the order below, and at the final arrival exit you'll meet the driver holding the placard.
