Experience of the stay
A hotel adjacent to a roadside station where persimmons become the mascot character, and there are always some fruit available throughout the year.
The Fairfield brand offers sufficiently necessary facilities. The beds are Simmons. It seems that the quality is unified through the roadside station project. Being newly built, the facilities are clean. Since it was at the back, the view from the third floor was of the vast plains, and the morning sun was pleasant.
Experiences during the trip
The adjacent roadside station, just a 30-second walk away, is worth visiting early in the morning! From around 7 to 8 AM, we witnessed local farmers bringing in freshly harvested vegetables and fruits. It seems to get quite crowded on weekends, so the fresh vegetables in the early morning are a must-see.
The forest therapy allowed us to enjoy beautiful terraced rice fields. We took 2 hours to walk 2 km, during which we detoxed digitally, even lying down on a yoga mat along the way.
It's just under an hour's drive from Fukuoka city. It's definitely worth staying over in this key area as we head towards Oita. We saw the vegetables in the morning, enjoyed forest bathing in the morning, and then refreshed ourselves at the famous Chikugo River Onsen, known for its beautiful waters, making for a wonderful half-day.
