• Fukuoka City Subway Kuko Line: Nakasu-Kawabata ⇄ Akasaka (Fukuoka)

Tenjin Station opened on 26 July 1981 as the terminus of the first segment of the Fukuoka City Subway Line 1 (Muromi - Tenjin). On 20 April 1982 it became a through station with the extension to Nakasu-Kawabata and the opening of the Hakozaki Line, and in March 1993 the line was extended further to Fukuoka Airport and gained the name Airport Line. From 3 February 2005 to 26 March 2023 it functioned as an out-of-fare-gate transfer with Tenjin-Minami on the Nanakuma Line, an arrangement retired when the Nanakuma Line was extended to Hakata. The station code is K08 and Tenjin is a managed-area headquarters station.

Tenjin was for many years the busiest station on the Airport Line and on the Fukuoka City Transportation Bureau's network as a whole, but it was overtaken by Hakata in fiscal 2022 and now ranks second.
