The subway
The subway in Fukuoka is so convenient! Trains run about every 10 minutes, there are ample cars to board, and all signs are in English as well as Japanese! You can get a subway card which makes boarding a breeze!
Public transportation in Fukuoka is extremely convenient. Of course, you can get around by car, but with all that the city provides, who needs it?

For venturing away from the city, you will need to take the Japan Railway (JR) trains. Fortunately, you can use the same train card for both the subway and the JR lines. The Shinkansen, or bullet train, can be used all across Japan, although tickets can be quite pricey. If you plan to travel throughout Japan, learn more about the JR Railway Pass here. https://www.jrkyushu.co.jp/english/railpass/railpass.html
For all the places off the beaten path, there are buses too! Although they are (naturally) less timely than the subway and trains, the bus system in Japan is still far better than most places! Be careful, it's much easier to get lost on a bus than on a rail line.
Don't be! Watch this video about navigating with google maps. It's easier than you think!
