Breedy House Nishitozaki U Building

We recently hosted a reunion of 11 cousins on Shikama Island, and since it had been years since we all gathered, we decided to extend our stay by one extra day. At first, we weren’t even sure how many people would be coming, but the hotel was incredibly flexible and accommodating—truly appreciated! They even allowed us to check in earlier, which made things much easier for our older relatives, most of whom were celebrating their 70th birthdays or beyond. As someone born in Kitakyushu and now living in Sapporo, returning to Fukuoka felt like coming home. The memories we created here were priceless. From the warm welcome to the quiet, comfortable space, everything felt just right. If I ever plan another family gathering, this will definitely be my top choice. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

The Luigans Spa and Resort

Staying at The Luigans Spa and Resort was an absolute delight. The free shuttle from Hakata Hearts Bus Terminal made the journey seamless—I caught the 9:30 AM bus with only a few passengers, so it was comfortable and stress-free. One of the best perks? The complimentary admission ticket to Sea Island Park, just a 3-minute walk away—perfect for a relaxing stroll or a morning breeze. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, offering both comfort and tranquility. The on-site hot spring bath facilities were excellent, with clean, well-maintained spaces that truly enhanced the relaxation experience. While there aren’t many dining options nearby, the in-house Western restaurant served a high-quality set dinner at a fair price. And then came the surprise—the nightly 5-minute fireworks display! It was such a delightful unexpected treat, adding a magical touch to our evening. Overall, the value, service, and unique touches made this stay unforgettable. I’d definitely come back.
