Experience of the stay
I stayed on a solo trip at "HEARTS Capsule Hotel & Spa Hakata," conveniently located directly connected to Hakata Station. Just a 5-minute walk from the station, with smooth mobility, it's perfect for tourism or business. The hotel is attached to a bus station, and after checking in, I took the escalator to the second-floor accommodation area.
During my stay, I enjoyed light meals at the café restaurant & bar on the second floor, while also utilizing WiFi and outlets to concentrate on my work. It was a quiet space that made my tasks more efficient. Plus, the appeal of refreshing in the large public bath and sauna before returning to work was fantastic. There’s also a laundry corner, making long stays worry-free.
The cabin area was simple yet comfortable, perfect for solo travelers. I thoroughly enjoyed the convenience and comfort of this hotel with excellent access.
Experiences during the trip
【Ichiran Ramen】
When you think of Hakata, you think Ichiran! The ramen, savored in a counter with dividers, was exquisite with a deep, rich broth and a mellow flavor of pork bone. I also tried the extra noodles, and I enjoyed it until the very last bite without getting bored. The spicy sauce on top added a nice kick, complementing the rich flavor with a lovely hint of spiciness! It reaffirmed that Ichiran is a must-visit.
【Yakuzen Spice Curry in Nakasu】
The Yakuzen spice curry I had in Nakasu was fantastic, providing a cozy warmth to the body with its healthy spices. The aroma and depth of flavor made it an addictive dish, feeling like new discoveries with every bite. The gentle flavor unique to Yakuzen, balanced with a sharp spiciness, was exquisite and satisfied both my heart and body!
【Cafe KIKUYA】
The iced coffee I had at Cafe KIKUYA was impressive, with a fragrant aroma spreading at the very first sip and a robust body. The clear taste, unique to carefully extracted coffee, and a modest sweetness made it perfect for a mature moment. Even as the ice melted, the flavor did not dilute, allowing me to enjoy it until the end.
What surprised me even more was that they are open until 3 AM! Visiting during the quiet time after the daytime hustle and bustle allows for relaxation in a spacious environment. Enjoying delicious coffee, whether for work, reading, or late-night enjoyment, is a significant benefit for those staying up late. It’s a wonderful place to enjoy the luxury of a night cafe experience.
