Subway Opening in Hakata Station

A new Subway restaurant, operated by WATAMI FAST CASUAL MANAGEMENT, is set to open its doors at the underground Hakata Station on March 6, 2026, at 10:00 AM. Located immediately outside the Chikushi ticket gate of the Fukuoka City Subway Airport Line, this will be a prime spot for sandwich lovers.

Hakata Station is one of the busiest terminal areas in Fukuoka City, frequented by commuters, office workers, students, and domestic as well as international tourists. With such a diverse clientele, we are excited to welcome everyone.

This new location is introducing a convenient self-order system, which allows first-time visitors to comfortably place their orders at their own pace. While Subway is known for its customizable sandwiches, we recognize that some may find the ordering process a bit daunting. With the self-order system, customers can follow on-screen guidance to enjoy customizing their sandwiches without any pressure. We encourage everyone, especially newcomers to Subway, to give it a try. We look forward to seeing you!

As of February 2026, Subway has enjoyed 64 consecutive months of sales growth at its existing locations. With the opening of the Hakata branch, Subway's total number of stores nationwide is expected to reach 224 by March 6.

Founded in 1965 in Connecticut, USA, Subway began as a small sandwich shop started by Fred DeLuca when he was just 17, aiming to save up for college. Its made-to-order style quickly gained popularity, allowing customers to customize their sandwiches as per their preferences. Today, it has grown into a globally recognized sandwich chain with more than 100 countries represented. In Japan, Subway has been delighting customers since opening its first store in Minato Ward, Tokyo, on March 25, 1992.

Each day, we bake fresh bread in-store and offer carefully selected ingredients like roast beef, shrimp, and avocado, packed with crispy vegetables. Our skilled staff, known as sandwich artists, prepare each sandwich with care, ensuring a memorable dining experience.
