How the last edition performed
Previous edition
This edition

Exhibitors: 570
Next edition
Not announced yet
New this edition
- 1
—
The Fukuoka edition gives buyers from Kyushu, Chugoku and Shikoku a regional sourcing date instead of a full trip to the Tokyo or Osaka runs, which makes it the practical show for southern-Japan salon chains and distributors.
- 2
—
Beautyworld Japan editions carry a strong salon and professional-products thread alongside retail cosmetics, so exhibitors typically bring treatment lines, salon equipment and back-bar products rather than consumer-only ranges.
- 3
—
Distributors and salon chains building private brands use the series to compare contract manufacturers, filling services and primary packaging suppliers in one hall, which shortens the sourcing loop compared with separate supplier visits.

Hotel tiers
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
610 m from Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A to venue
Closest of the captured options, in the Hakata Port district; walkable to the hall. Rates for 8-10 February 2027 were shown as discounted versus the hotel's usual rate, but the nightly figure was not displayed in the capture.
920 m from Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A to venue
Budget-leaning option on the Hakata Port side, roughly a 10-12 minute walk to the hall. Good fit for a two-night show stay where the room is mainly for sleeping.
1.4 km from Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A to venue
Nakasu location with a public bath on site, useful after a full show day; combine a 20-25 minute walk with a short taxi or bus to the venue. Pricier tier than the Hakata Port options.
Approx. 2 km from Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A to venue
Generic tier rather than a specific booking: staying around Hakata Station buys the best subway, rail and airport access, with a short taxi or city bus ride to the hall. Compare individual properties before booking.
Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
subway
Estimated costJPY 180-320 single metro journey
Best forFukuoka City Subway Kuko Line: Fukuoka Airport Station to Hakata Station
Fastest link from the airport into the city. From Hakata Station take a city bus or taxi the remaining 2 km to Marine Messe; there is no direct subway station at the venue.
bus
Estimated costApprox. JPY 230-260 one way; confirm route number and fare
Best forNishitetsu city bus: Hakata Station to Marine Messe Fukuoka
City buses run on a flat-fare zone in central Fukuoka. Pay with an IC card (nimoca, Hayakaken or Suica) or cash; allow extra time at peak hours.
taxi
Estimated costApprox. JPY 2,300-3,200 for the 5-6 km trip (estimate, meter and traffic dependent)
Best forFukuoka Airport (FUK) to Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A
Practical with luggage or for early build-up days. Allow 20-30 minutes; the waterfront approach can slow during morning arrivals.
taxi
Estimated costApprox. JPY 1,000-1,500 for the roughly 2 km trip (estimate, confirm meter fare)
Best forHakata Station to Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A
The quickest option if you are staying near the station and carrying catalogues or samples. Short rides can be hard to hail in the rain, so queue at the station rank.
parking
Estimated costApprox. JPY 500-1,500 per day band; confirm the venue tariff at the gate
Best forMarine Messe Fukuoka on-site car park
On-site parking exists at the Marine Messe complex, but capacity tightens during trade fairs. Exhibitors with freight should follow the organiser's vehicle and loading instructions rather than using public parking.
walk
Estimated costNo fare
Best forHakata Station or Nakasu to Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A
About 25-30 minutes on foot from Hakata Station along the port side, and around 20-25 minutes from Nakasu. Flat route, but the waterfront stretch is exposed to wind and rain in February.
taxi
Estimated costApprox. JPY taxi/rideshare from KKJ to venue (estimate; confirm before travel)

Weather
February is one of Fukuoka's coldest months. Expect daytime highs typically around 10-12 C and overnight lows around 3-5 C, with a mix of bright dry spells, rain and occasional sleet; snow settling in the city is uncommon but not unknown. The Marine Messe complex sits directly on Hakata Port, so wind off the water makes the walk from the bus stop or car park feel colder than the city-centre reading. Treat these as climatological norms for planning and check the forecast in the week before travel. Indoor halls are heated, but queueing and transfer time outdoors is the part to dress for.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Plan data before landing: Japan visitor SIM and pocket Wi-Fi options are the standard route for exhibitors running stand demos and card readers, so order a SIM or router for pickup at Fukuoka Airport (FUK) rather than relying on roaming for three show days.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business cards and introductions
Cards are still the default opening move in Japanese trade meetings. Bring a supply of meishi with your role and company in clear print, present them with both hands and take a moment to read the card you receive before putting it away.
Language at the booth
Japanese is the working language on most stands. Larger exhibitors and the organiser can handle English enquiries, but a Japanese-speaking colleague, a hired interpreter or bilingual product sheets noticeably improve distributor conversations.
Trade credentials and badge etiquette
This is a business-to-business beauty fair, so carry identification that shows your buyer or professional role. Badges are worn visibly in the halls, and exhibitors will ask what channel you buy for before going deep into pricing.
Cash, cards and tipping
Cards are widely accepted in Fukuoka hotels and larger restaurants, but smaller izakaya and kiosks may be cash-only. Tipping is not customary, and taxis expect payment in yen rather than a rounded-up tip.
Transit and street etiquette
On the subway and city buses keep phone calls short and voices low, queue on the marked platform lines, and have your IC card or fare ready before the gate. Eating while walking is uncommon in central Fukuoka.
Show-day rhythm
Booth traffic peaks from late morning through early afternoon, and Japanese buyers often plan visits around fixed meeting slots. Book distributor meetings in advance and expect a quieter final afternoon on 10 February.

Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Compare flights to the nearest international gateway serving Fukuoka; confirm ground transport on the organiser site.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Use the nearest international airport serving Fukuoka; Metro, train or taxi links are typically available to the venue district.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A: Hakata, 610 m from Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A: Hotel Hakata Place; Hakata waterfront, 920 m from Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A: The OneFive Marine Fukuoka; Hakata, 1.3 km from Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A: 博多水庭 (Hakata Suitei).
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Fukuoka; confirm local availability before travel.
Public transit: The practical route is the Fukuoka City Subway Kuko Line from Fukuoka Airport Station to Hakata Station, roughly 5-6 minutes and about JPY 260 one way. Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A has no dedicated subway station, so from Hakata Station continue by Nishitetsu city bus (flat-fare zone, roughly JPY 230-260) or a short taxi of about 2 km (roughly JPY 1,000-1,500). Load an IC card such as nimoca, Hayakaken or Suica at the airport for both subway and bus. Allow 35-50 minutes door to door from the airport, more at morning peak, and confirm the current bus route and stop for Marine Messe with the venue or organiser before travelling.
Parking: On-site parking is available at Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A; confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: February 2027
Temperature: Typical February range in Fukuoka: daytime highs around 10-12 C and overnight lows around 3-5 C, with the Hakata Port waterfront in front of Marine Messe feeling colder when the wind is up. These are seasonal norms for planning rather than a forecast for 8-10 February 2027; check the actual forecast in the final week.
Seasonality: February sits in Fukuoka's colder, relatively drier winter window, but rain days are still common and sleet or light snow can occur. Daylight is short, so outdoor walks between the station, hotel and venue are usually in low light after the show closes. Pack a compact umbrella, a warm layer and footwear that copes with wet pavements, and keep transfers short by staying in Hakata or Nakasu.
Packing: February 2027

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Is Beautyworld Japan Fukuoka a trade-only show?
Beautyworld Japan editions are built around trade buyers, distributors and salon professionals. Entry rules can differ by edition, so check the visitor registration page on the Fukuoka edition site before you book travel, and carry business identification that shows your sector role.
What can I actually source at Beautyworld Japan Fukuoka?
Plan around the categories the Beautyworld Japan series covers: skincare and cosmetics, hair care and salon equipment, nail products, esthetic and spa items, plus contract manufacturing, private-brand services and primary packaging. If you are sourcing for a salon chain or drugstore, book meetings with the OEM/ODM and packaging suppliers as well as the brand booths.
How do I get from Fukuoka Airport to Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall A?
Take the Fukuoka City Subway Kuko Line from Fukuoka Airport Station to Hakata Station (about 5-6 minutes), then a city bus or taxi for roughly 2 km to the Marine Messe complex on the Hakata Port waterfront. A taxi direct from the airport is about 5-6 km and typically 20-30 minutes depending on traffic.
Where should I stay for the show?
Hakata and Nakasu are the practical bases: Hakata Station gives the best subway and rail connections, while Nakasu puts you within walking or short-taxi distance of Marine Messe and the evening restaurant district. Hotels close to the venue, such as those around Hakata Port, fill early for trade-fair dates.
How does visitor registration work?
Registration is handled online by the organiser. Complete it before travelling so your badge is ready, and check whether your edition requires trade credentials or an invitation. Keep a copy of the confirmation on your phone for the entrance screening.
Can I book a booth or apply to exhibit?
Exhibiting is arranged directly with the organiser, Messe Frankfurt Japan Ltd. Space applications, stand packages and technical rules are published on the edition site; confirm availability, hall layout and any application deadline with the organiser's sales team rather than assuming space remains.
What language is used at the show?
Japanese is the working language for most exhibitor conversations. Many larger exhibitors and the organiser handle English enquiries, but a Japanese-speaking colleague, an interpreter or prepared Japanese product sheets will make distributor meetings far more productive.
What is Fukuoka weather like during the show dates?
February is one of Fukuoka's coldest months, with daytime highs typically around 10-12 C and overnight lows around 3-5 C. Expect a mix of dry, bright days and rain or sleet; the Hakata Port waterfront in front of Marine Messe is exposed, so bring a warm layer and a compact umbrella, and check the forecast as the dates approach.
Do I need a visa to visit Japan for the show?
Japan's short-stay visa exemption applies to many nationalities, but the list and permitted activities change. Check the latest entry rules with Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs or your nearest Japanese embassy before booking, and confirm which visa category covers trade-fair attendance for your passport.
How does the Fukuoka edition relate to the other Beautyworld Japan shows?
Beautyworld Japan runs as a series with editions in Tokyo and Osaka as well as Fukuoka. Brand and distributor teams often use the Fukuoka date for western-Japan accounts and the Tokyo date for national launches, so check the series calendar before planning a single-show trip.
Glossary
- J-Beauty
- Japanese beauty brands and formulations, typically described around fine textures, layered skincare routines and mild cleansing; a core positioning theme when Japanese brands and their overseas distributors meet at Beautyworld Japan.
- OEM (original equipment manufacturer)
- A contract cosmetics manufacturer that produces a product to the buyer's specification and formula, then fills and packs it under the buyer's brand. OEM suppliers are a main sourcing category for retailers and salon chains building private lines.
- ODM (original design manufacturer)
- A contract manufacturer that supplies a ready-developed formulation or design which the buyer brands. Useful shorthand at the show when a buyer wants speed to market rather than a fully bespoke formula.
- PB (private brand)
- Retailer or salon-chain own-brand products made by a third-party manufacturer. PB sourcing conversations at the show usually involve minimum order quantities, packaging tooling and Japanese labelling compliance.
- Professional line / salon-only
- Products distributed only through licensed salons, esthetic clinics or beauty professionals rather than mass retail. Channel control and pro-only pricing are the usual buying questions.
- Quasi-drug (medicated cosmetics)
- The Japanese regulatory category for products making limited efficacy claims, such as medicated whitening or anti-acne lines. Buyers importing such products need the correct Japanese classification before listing them.
- Esthetic salon
- A Japanese skincare and treatment salon offering facials and body treatments. Esthetic operators attend to source treatment products, devices and consumables rather than retail cosmetics.
- Tester and sampler SKUs
- Mini, sachet or counter-tester units used for in-store trials and trade sampling. Packaging suppliers at the show quote separately for tester runs because volumes and print runs differ from full-size products.
- Primary packaging
- The container in direct contact with the product: bottles, jars, tubes, airless pumps, compacts, droppers and applicators. A distinct sourcing category from secondary cartons and shelf-ready display.
- Contract filling
- A service that fills and seals finished product into packaging, often paired with formulation. Buyers comparing quotes look at fill types (hot fill, airless, aerosol), batch minimums and inspection standards.
- Distributor vs. retail buyer
- A distributor buys for resale to salons, clinics or stores and cares about territory rights and margin stack; a retail buyer sources directly for shelf space and cares about sell-through and packaging appeal. Both attend, with different meeting agendas.
- Nail category
- Gel systems, tips, files and nail-care treatments sold through nail salons and pro-beauty wholesalers, usually on a separate aisle pattern from skincare and hair.
