There’s so much to explore: cool boutiques, unique cafes, and local gems that make it feel like a hidden gem. Honestly, I went into this trip with no expectations for Fukuoka, but after staying here, I’m already planning my return. If the price is right, this will be my go-to hotel every time I visit.
