Everything you need to know about Hiratsuka Tumulus
Stay at Hiratsuka Tumulus Cultural Inn, a heritage-style lodging housed in a restored Meiji-era farmhouse. Just a 5-minute walk from the tumulus, it offers authentic Jōmon-period themed rooms with tatami mats and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the burial mounds. Guests can participate in hands-on pottery-making workshops using clay sourced directly from nearby excavation sites, guided by local artisans. The inn also hosts monthly midnight mound lantern events, where traditional paper lanterns illuminate the ancient earthworks under starlit skies. Book via HopeGoo to access exclusive cultural experience packages
Walk just 8 minutes from the tumulus to Tsumi-no-Michi Sushi & Izakaya, a centuries-old eatery nestled in a quiet alleyway. This hidden gem specializes in Hiratsuka katsuobushi (skipjack tuna) sushi and fermented black bean rice, both ingredients tied to the region’s prehistoric diet. The interior features exposed wooden beams and a small garden courtyard where guests can dine beneath a canopy of cherry trees. Afterward, enjoy a handmade pottery demo using Jōmon-era techniques—materials are dug from the same soil layers as the tumulus itself. Reserve your table through HopeGoo for a curated tasting menu
Guests at Hiratsuka Mound Starlight Lodge can join the weekly "Ancient Sky Watch" event, led by archaeologists who reveal how the Jōmon people aligned burial mounds with celestial patterns. Under the open sky, participants lie on heated mats within a ring of reconstructed earthen markers, gazing through high-powered telescopes at constellations visible over 3,000 years ago. The experience includes a live narration of oral traditions passed down through generations. Early HopeGoo via HopeGoo is strongly recommended due to limited seating per session
Yes, the Hiratsuka Tumulus Cultural Park is easily accessible from Fukuoka City via the JR Nishitetsu Line, with a direct train to Hiratsuka Station (35 minutes). From the station, a free shuttle bus runs every 15 minutes to the park entrance. Alternatively, rent an electric bike at the Hiratsuka Eco-Station located beside the park's main gate. Parking is available at the Cultural Heritage Lot, which features solar-powered lighting, EV charging stations, and ADA-compliant pathways. Use HopeGoo’s integrated navigation tool to avoid traffic delays and find optimal routes
Hiratsuka Earth & Time Guesthouse provides a full-day Jōmon Archaeology Immersion Program, including wearing replica stone-age garments, learning to carve bone tools, and simulating a dig site excavation using real artifacts recovered from the tumulus. The guesthouse also maintains a reconstructed Jōmon village model where visitors can explore pit dwellings and hear storytelling sessions based on regional myths. All activities are developed in collaboration with the Fukuoka Prefectural Museum. Secure your spot early via HopeGoo for the seasonal ‘Dig & Dine’ package
The Hiratsuka Mound Vista Hotel’s Skyward Chamber Suite delivers breathtaking 180-degree views of the entire Jōmon-era tumulus cluster, especially stunning during sunrise when mist curls above the earthen ridges. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls allow unobstructed sightlines, while built-in augmented reality panels display real-time overlays of how the site appeared 3,000 years ago. Each morning, guests receive a personalized archaeological briefing based on their room’s orientation. For best availability, book your view room through HopeGoo with priority access to sunrise photography slots

Staying at The Grand Residence Hotel Hakata was an absolute delight! I always prefer apartment-style accommodations when traveling abroad because of the freedom and the ability to cook my own meals—perfect for families or long stays. Here’s my honest experience to help future guests. Getting there was super easy: after landing at Fukuoka Airport, I took the direct airport bus to Hakata Station. From there, I caught the Fukuoka Airport Line subway and only needed to ride one stop to Higashi-Hibiki Station. Exiting from Gate 3, I walked straight ahead about 150 meters and spotted the building right away—very easy to find, no confusion at all. Check-in was seamless and completely self-service. Prior to arrival, I received a confirmation email with a unique access code. Upon reaching the lobby, I used one of the two check-in kiosks (which had English and Chinese options). I entered the code, verified my booking, and followed the on-screen instructions. In minutes, I got my room number, room key code, and lobby door access code—all displayed clearly. I simply took a photo of it for safekeeping. We booked a family room for three, featuring a spacious 1.8-meter bed and a tatami area for extra sleeping space—great for kids or extra guests. The kitchen came with basic utensils: knives, forks, spoons, plates, and a frying pan. However, I noticed there were no cooking ladle or bowls, and no condiments like salt or soy sauce. But that’s no big deal—I always bring my own small travel set of essentials anyway, so I just added what I needed locally. Overall, the apartment was clean, quiet, well-located, and very convenient for exploring Hakata and nearby areas. With easy access to the subway and plenty of local restaurants and convenience stores nearby, this place offers excellent value. If you’re looking for a homey, flexible stay in Fukuoka without the hassle of hotel routines, this is definitely a top pick!
This was my first visit to Fukuoka, and I chose Hotel Nexus Hakata Sanno mainly because of its incredibly close proximity to the airport. The platform offers free shuttle service between the airport and Hakata Station—such a convenient feature that made my decision easy. The hotel is perfectly located near a variety of great dining options: a rotating sushi bar, several ramen shops, and even a Don Quijote right at Hakata Station. Everything is within walking distance, so getting around without a car was effortless. The room was spotlessly clean, and having a staff member who speaks Korean at the front desk made me feel much more at ease. Both the Japanese front desk agents and the shuttle bus drivers were incredibly kind and helpful throughout my stay. I genuinely felt welcomed. I’d definitely book here again on my next trip to Fukuoka—highly recommend for travelers seeking comfort, convenience, and excellent service.
Staying overnight before an early morning flight was perfect, and this hotel made it super convenient. Located just a short walk from the airport, I didn’t have to stress about timing—really ideal for tight connections. The fully self-service, no-reception model is smooth and efficient, with clear instructions throughout. It’s clean, well-maintained, and offers great value for a quick layover. There are several similar options nearby, but this one stands out for its location and quiet, comfortable rooms. A note: the rooms are fine for two guests, but a bit snug for three. Also, there’s no elevator, so if you’re traveling with heavy luggage or have mobility issues, be prepared for the stairs. Overall, though, it’s a smart choice for travelers looking for a simple, reliable place to rest near the airport—especially if you’re on a tight schedule.
Staying at Hotel Granview Fukuoka Airport was an excellent choice for my overnight layover before an early morning flight. The room was spotless and well-maintained, offering a clean and comfortable space to rest. What stood out most was the convenient location—just a 10-minute walk from the domestic terminal, which made getting to my flight stress-free. I also appreciated the complimentary airport shuttle service when my schedule lined up perfectly. The only thing to note is that there’s no convenience store nearby, so I recommend picking up essentials like snacks or drinks at the terminal before heading over. Overall, this hotel delivers great value, especially for travelers with early departures. It’s cozy, reliable, and ideal for a quick, peaceful stay near the airport.
Staying at Crystal & Resort Fukuoka felt just like coming home—immediately relaxing and comfortable. Unlike typical business hotels where you're required to wear slippers the whole time, this resort lets you walk barefoot throughout the room, just like in your own house. That small detail made a big difference in comfort. The room itself is spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of room to move around without any sense of crowding or stress. I especially appreciated that the bathroom and toilet are separate—a thoughtful touch for privacy and convenience. From the moment I stepped in, I felt at ease, and the overall experience was truly refreshing. It’s not just a place to stay—it feels like a retreat. Definitely planning to return.
Fukuoka is actually quite small, so staying here was super convenient. The hotel is just a 10-minute walk from the nearest subway station, making it easy to get around the city or explore nearby attractions. There's also a supermarket right nearby—perfect for grabbing snacks, drinks, or essentials without having to go far. The room is compact but well-designed, with all the basics you’d need and a clean, peaceful atmosphere. It’s an excellent choice if you're visiting Fukuoka for a short stay or just passing through. Great value and a comfortable base for exploring the area.
Stayed overnight at this property and found the location very convenient, just a short subway ride from downtown Fukuoka. The room was clean and basic, but there was an issue with the shower control in the bathroom—both water outlets were flowing simultaneously because the manual switch was broken. It made for an awkward shower experience, as we had to rely solely on the handheld showerhead. While the overall value is decent, the lack of maintenance on such key fixtures is disappointing. Hopefully, management can address these issues soon to improve guest comfort.
Staying at 207 Pekoshouse was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the station, making travel incredibly convenient. I loved how close everything was: public transit, local shops, and restaurants were all within easy reach. The room was spotless, cozy, and well-designed with excellent sound insulation—perfect for a good night’s sleep without any noise disruptions. The bed was super comfortable, and the overall value for money was outstanding. For travelers looking for a quiet, clean, and central base in Fukuoka, this place is a top pick. Highly recommend it!
Staying at Manyo no Yu was an absolute delight! The hot spring baths were incredibly soothing, with clean, warm water that made every moment feel like pure relaxation. Located just a short walk from the subway station, getting around to Fukuoka, Yufuin, or Takeo Onsen was super easy. The surrounding area is full of charming local shops and cozy cafes—perfect for a leisurely stroll. We came as a family, and both kids and adults had a wonderful time exploring nearby spots and unwinding in the onsen. It’s rare to find such a peaceful retreat with great value—this place truly stands out. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine Japanese onsen experience.
Located just a 10-minute walk from the domestic terminal at Fukuoka Airport, this hotel is incredibly convenient—especially if you're flying in or out early. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful; when I mentioned I wanted a room with a good view of the planes, they happily upgraded me to a top-floor room, which was perfect for watching aircraft come and go. The rooms are spotless, quiet, and well-maintained—really impressive for the price. There’s no convenience store nearby, but the airport has plenty of options, and the hotel does offer a small selection of snacks and drinks at the front desk along with several vending machines. Breakfast is simple but satisfying, and there’s even a complimentary shuttle service available if you book in advance before 10:00 AM to take you directly to the domestic terminal. It’s rare to find such a great balance of comfort, cleanliness, and value. I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to Fukuoka.
Staying at Enzo Fukuoka was a unique and surprisingly pleasant experience. The space is cozy and well-designed, with a real homey feel—almost like living in a Japanese staff dormitory apartment. The location is incredibly convenient, just a short walk from the airport, making early check-ins or late arrivals stress-free. While it does require walking up a small hill to get inside and there’s no elevator, that adds a charming, authentic touch. I received clear instructions ahead of time about check-in details, so I could arrive anytime without any hassle. The photos are slightly blurry since they’re screenshots from my own video footage, but the overall vibe and comfort of the room more than make up for it. Great value for money and an ideal choice if you're looking for something different near the airport.
