Experience of the stay
This time, during my long-awaited trip to Fukuoka, I stayed at "The Millennials Fukuoka."
When you hear "capsule hotel," you might have a cramped image, but in reality it was very comfortable, the room was just the right size, not too big and not too small.
What I particularly appreciated was the service that allowed us to enjoy one hour of free beer in the evening! Given that it was a hot day, relaxing with a cold beer in hand was the best time ever (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)
Moreover, I was lucky enough to be able to switch to a female-only pod due to availability. It seems that this isn't always possible, but I was fortunate on this day.
During my stay, the "Nakasu Jazz" event was taking place, and the hotel area was filled with the sounds of jazz, making for a very lively and enjoyable night.
Experiences during the trip
The purpose of this trip to Fukuoka was to meet a friend, but I also looked forward to a relaxing journey while feeling the autumn air in Fukuoka. However, during this period, we reverted back to midsummer days, and there was no sign of autumn at all (；´Д`A
Amidst this, I went to "Hōjōkai," a traditional autumn event in Fukuoka. It was my first time experiencing it, as I had never had the opportunity to go while living in Fukuoka, but I was excited by the lively stalls and the bustling crowds, to the point that I forgot about the sweaty weather.
Fukuoka's festivals always make my heart dance, no matter the season.
On another day, I casually visited Itoshima alone.
In Itoshima, I enjoyed fresh vegetables and delicious craft beer, rejuvenating both my mind and body in nature. The heat was a bit harsh, but surrounded by the landscape of Itoshima with its sea and mountains, I was able to feel its charm again.
And, of course, the perfect way to conclude the trip was with Hakata ramen!
The ramen I had at my favorite place was something I could never get tired of, a taste that truly represented Fukuoka. After finishing that bowl, I felt like all my time in Fukuoka had come together perfectly, and I couldn't help but want to return to this city.
