What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Fukuoka or Saga for November 2 to 4, 2026, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Karatsu lodging books out a year ahead; Fukuoka is an easy day-trip base with late trains.
- The floats rest in the Hikiyama Exhibition Hall the rest of the year, a good stop if dates fail.
- Fukuoka airport to Karatsu is about 80 minutes by subway and JR Chikuhi line; Saga airport is about an hour by car.
