• Nishitetsu Tenjin Omuta Line: Yakuin

Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station opened on 12 April 1924 as simply Fukuoka Station, the northern terminus of what is now the Nishitetsu Tenjin Ōmuta Line. It was renamed Kyūtetsu Fukuoka around 1939 and Nishitetsu Fukuoka on 22 September 1942. The station was elevated to a second-floor configuration on 1 November 1961 and rebuilt as the centrepiece of the Solaria Terminal Building between 1992 and September 1997 as part of the city's continuous elevated-rail project, then renamed Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) on 1 January 2001 to flag its city-centre location. It now occupies a stub-end platform layout on the building's second floor and is the busiest Nishitetsu station.

The 1956 Toho monster film Rodan (Sora no Daikaijū Radon) shows the pre-elevation, ground-level Nishitetsu Fukuoka Station in its Fukuoka-destruction sequence.
