This hotel is close to the old Fukuoka subway all the regional and Shinkansen trains run from the new Hakata station. While the entrance to the subway is only about 50 meters away the actual station is a further 600 meters away. The hotel has a restaurant on site, taxis are not hard to get at the front door, shops are handy and also in the subway. The Richmond hotels seem to be fosusing on the local market rather than the international tourist, no English channels on the TV, or staff unable to tell us how to get an English channel, we stayed at two Richmond Hotels on this trip and found this at both.
