In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Richmond Hotel Fukuoka Tenjin is a 3-star hotel in the Richmond chain, renovated in 2019 and sitting a 6-minute walk from Tenjin station. Rooms run 25–30 sqm, bigger than the usual Japanese 3-star, with warm modern-classic decor and big windows that bring in real daylight. The standout is that every room comes with an air purifier and a humidifier — reviewers keep coming back to it, especially in winter, when you wake up without the usual dry throat.
Food and amenities
There's a mid-size gym with the basics, a coin laundry, and a 24-hour front desk. A Lawson convenience store sits right under the building, which is handy for late snacks or a quick breakfast. Breakfast at the hotel is sold separately at a fair price rather than folded into the rate.
Location and getting there
It's a 6-minute walk from Tenjin station, along a shopping street packed with shops and restaurants, and the streets nearby have plenty more places to eat. This pocket runs quieter than the hotels right at the station, but it's still easy to get to on foot.
Things to know before booking
The 6-minute walk means it isn't the closest option to the station, so if dragging luggage even a short distance bothers you, weigh that. There's no pool and no spa — this is a place to sleep, shower, and shop, not to settle in for an afternoon. And breakfast costs extra, so factor that in if you like it included.
Our take
Richmond Hotel Fukuoka Tenjin is the pick for travellers who want a clean, roomy stay on a $69 budget and care about the air in the room. It's the best value among Tenjin's high-scoring hotels — the highest 3-star score in the area, a little more space than the competition, and that air purifier in every room.

Insider Tips

- There's a 24-hour Lawson under the building for late snacks, drinks, or a quick breakfast.
- The air purifier and humidifier come standard in every room, so winter and dry-season travellers don't need to request one.
