83 cruise calls are on the official 2026 schedule (Jan–Sep 2026). Here is every ship, its season, and — because this is what we actually do —what to do with your hours once you are there.
According to the official schedule published by City of Fukuoka Port & Airport Bureau (as of August 17, 2026), Fukuoka has 83 cruise calls scheduled for 2026 (Jan–Sep 2026) — 61 by international ships and 22 by Japanese-operated ships. Compiled by Port of Japan, verified August 26, 2026.
Historically Japan’s highest-volume cruise port (200+ calls in 2024 and 2025). Western ocean ships call in spring and autumn between the Asia-market traffic.
Note: the city posts only ~2 months ahead — 2025 actual was 209 calls, so the full-year figure will be far higher.
