Visiting Fukuoka in November or December 2026? Check the dome concert calendar before choosing your hotel nights, even if you are coming for food, sightseeing, or the start of a Kyushu trip. Major performances are scheduled on two November weekends and every December weekend from December 4 onward.
If your dates are flexible, compare nearby weekdays and Sundays before fixing your route. If your travel dates are fixed, prioritize a suitable hotel with cancellation terms you understand.
Concert schedules checked November 2, 2026 (JST). The hotel-price examples below retain the comparison site’s separate November 1 and November 2 data dates.
Fukuoka Dome Concert Dates in November and December
The following performances are listed at Mizuho PayPay Dome Fukuoka. Check the nights you will actually sleep in the city, including any night before the concert.
| Dates in 2026 | Artist |
|---|---|
| November 14–15 (Saturday–Sunday) | Fujii Kaze |
| November 28–29 (Saturday–Sunday) | YOASOBI |
| December 4–6 (Friday–Sunday) | Snow Man |
| December 12–13 (Saturday–Sunday) | Hey! Say! JUMP |
| December 19–20 (Saturday–Sunday) | TOMORROW X TOGETHER |
| December 26–27 (Saturday–Sunday) | BIGBANG |
Concert admission has its own eligibility and sales rules: Fujii Kaze’s official tour page explicitly states that Japan-leg tickets will not be sold to residents outside Japan. If attending a show is your reason for traveling, establish a valid ticket route before committing to a nonrefundable trip.
A Quick Hotel-Price Snapshot Around Hakata Station
For a simple reference, we reviewed Travelko’s November calendar (Japanese) and December calendar (Japanese) on November 2. The figures below are the site’s lowest listed prices in its 3-star category for the Hakata Station area: two adults, one room, one night, with taxes included as labeled by the source. They are room totals, not per-person prices.
The November calendar labels its data “as of November 1”; the December calendar says November 2. Different dates can represent different hotels, room types, and booking sites. Meals, payment timing, and cancellation terms are not standardized in this calendar, so use it to decide which dates to search—not as a quote for a specific refundable room.
| Night of stay, 2026 | Scheduled dome performance | Lowest listed 3-star total for 2 adults |
|---|---|---|
| November 11 (Wednesday) | No dome concert in the table above | ¥9,800 |
| November 14 (Saturday) | Fujii Kaze | ¥36,100 |
| November 15 (Sunday) | Fujii Kaze | ¥15,386 |
| November 28 (Saturday) | YOASOBI | ¥21,870 |
| December 2 (Wednesday) | No dome concert in the table above | ¥8,640 |
| December 5 (Saturday) | Snow Man | ¥21,870 |
| December 6 (Sunday) | Snow Man | ¥10,100 |
| December 12 (Saturday) | Hey! Say! JUMP | ¥21,870 |
| December 19 (Saturday) | TOMORROW X TOGETHER | ¥18,900 |
| December 26 (Saturday) | BIGBANG | ¥17,100 |
The useful signal is the difference between individual nights. For example, the listed minimum for November 15 was lower than November 14, even though both have a performance. That gives a flexible traveler a reason to compare dates, but it does not measure how much a concert raised a hotel’s price. Weekday-versus-weekend patterns, other events, and the rooms still listed can all affect the result.
These are a dated reference, not a citywide average or a guarantee of availability. Search your actual dates and party size on a booking site you can use, then check the final total and conditions. Additional locally payable charges, if any, should be confirmed at checkout.
Where to Look Before Moving Outside Fukuoka
Start with the area that suits the rest of your trip. Hakata is convenient if you are arriving by Shinkansen or continuing around Kyushu. Tenjin suits a city stay focused on shopping, restaurants, and evenings out. Compare both before assuming the closest hotel to the dome is your best option.
If those areas exceed your budget, widen the search along a useful transport route and check the walk from the station to the property. A cheaper room can lose its advantage if it requires extra transfers, a long walk with luggage, or a taxi late at night. Compare the total for your whole stay, including transport and any hotel move.
For concertgoers, the venue’s official access guide lists a walk of about 15 minutes from Tojinmachi subway station’s Exit 3. Allow extra time for event traffic and station queues. Check the actual return route before booking accommodation farther away; do not build the plan around a guessed concert finishing time.

How to Make the Booking Decision
- If your dates are fixed, compare acceptable rooms now and choose cancellation terms that match your plans. Keep an existing good reservation until any replacement is confirmed.
- If your route is flexible, compare moving the Fukuoka stay by a night or two. Check the total trip cost before changing flights, trains, or other hotels.
- If only one night is expensive, compare one continuous stay with a hotel change. Factor in checkout, luggage storage, and the time spent moving.
If you find a suitable room at a total you can afford, check its cancellation deadline and keep the confirmation. Revisit your plan if your dates or requirements change.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Should I avoid Fukuoka on concert weekends?
-
Not necessarily. Check accommodation for your actual nights first. If the total fits your budget and the location suits your itinerary, a concert weekend does not by itself require changing your trip.
- Will hotel prices fall closer to the date?
-
They may rise or fall as rooms and plans change. This dated comparison cannot predict which will happen; if your dates are fixed, compare current options and cancellation terms rather than waiting on an assumed drop.
- Do I need to stay near PayPay Dome?
-
No. Hakata or Tenjin may fit a wider Fukuoka trip better, while a property near the venue may suit someone prioritizing the concert. Compare the station walk, the return journey, and the full stay cost before choosing.
