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.
Staying here was a fantastic choice for our self-drive trip to Fukuoka. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short ride to the city center by train or bus, and parking couldn’t be better. The lot is huge, allows unlimited entry and exit, and even lets you keep your car until 5 PM on checkout day. That’s a game-changer when you’re comparing it to the sky-high parking fees in downtown Fukuoka. Plus, it’s super close to the airport, making early check-ins or late departures stress-free. On top of that, the popular Full Full Minced Tuna French Bread factory is just around the corner—no lines, no hassle, perfect for grabbing fresh treats on the go. Everything about this hotel hits the mark: comfort, convenience, and great value. Highly recommend for travelers who want a smooth, hassle-free stay.
I was really impressed with my stay at HOTEL JAPANESQUE FUKUOKA. The room was significantly larger than other similarly priced hotels I've stayed in Japan, making it feel much more spacious and comfortable—especially for travelers used to a bit more roominess like myself. The atmosphere was quiet and clean throughout, and the amenities were thoughtfully included: two USB charging ports in the room, free Wi-Fi that worked reliably, and a convenient self-service laundry area. There’s also an on-site cafeteria with a microwave, so I could easily heat up meals and enjoy them right in the hotel—perfect for saving time and money. Smoking guests will appreciate the designated outdoor smoking area. While the hotel isn’t right in the heart of Tenjin, it’s just a short walk from the Kōshu Line subway station, which connects directly to key areas like Nakasu, Tenjin, and Ohori Park—making transit super easy. Overall, this place offers excellent value for money and a truly relaxing experience. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Fukuoka.
We stayed at Fukuoka Recent Hotel for two nights during a concert event at Fukuoka Dome, and it was an excellent experience overall. We arrived late—after midnight following our flight from Haneda—and were initially worried about check-in timing. However, after calling the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised to learn that check-in could be extended until 12:00 AM, with clear instructions provided over the phone, including guidance on the main entrance and access via the service gate. The location is very convenient: just 15–20 minutes by train from Fukuoka Airport (with one transfer), and roughly the same distance to PayPay Dome. From Kōsaka-gūmae Station, exit 3 is just a 3-minute walk—however, if you take the ground-level elevator (exit 4), you’ll end up walking much further through dimly lit, poorly illuminated streets, which felt quite unsafe at night. Be sure to plan your route accordingly. There are no convenience stores or supermarkets nearby, so pick up essentials like breakfast items before arriving—luckily, there’s a McDonald’s close by, perfect for a quick morning bite. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, ideal for solo travelers. While the air conditioning was off, the building’s central heating made the room feel quite warm, but thankfully the in-room humidifier and air purifier helped maintain a pleasant atmosphere. The private bathtub was a nice touch, but even better was the large shared bathhouse—both times we visited around 11 PM, we were able to enter immediately without any wait. The bath area features four shower heads and a sizable tub suitable for 4–5 people. That said, the changing room is quite narrow, so it might get crowded during peak hours, but our late-night visits ensured smooth access. Amenities were well thought out—complimentary drinks including coffee, tea, green tea, and bottled water were available, and all toiletries were high quality. The front desk staff were exceptionally polite and helpful throughout our stay. I’d definitely recommend this hotel for future trips to Fukuoka—especially if you’re visiting for events or want a quiet, reliable base with great value. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!
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!
