Experience of the stay
I stayed at lyf Tenjin Fukuoka as a HafH ambassador this time!
After driving from Kitakyushu for an hour, I found many discoveries on the less frequented side of Tenjin (usually I go towards Daimyo).
The hotel was stylish and slightly covered in vines, located right in front of Imaizumi Park.
The first floor has a bar, and I went past it to the third floor.
The lobby features a working space, a billiards table that converts to a table, and a bar counter! At night, I was able to watch the professional baseball All-Star game here.
The decor is so stylish that it loses your vocabulary level, providing an exciting atmosphere to spend time in this hotel.
There seemed to be many long-stay travelers, and a kitchen is available for self-cooking.
You could save money while traveling and even make snacks with travel companions! (Remember to wash and return what you use.)
Even the elevator is stylish, and upon reaching my room on the ninth floor, I found it equally chic.
I had a single room with a view of the night scene of Fukuoka City, creating a beautiful memory page for my solo trip.
Now, regarding dinner, the area around here has a dining scene that isn't lacking compared to Daimyo, with fewer chain restaurants.
I wanted to eat something in particular, so I entered a chain izakaya.
By the way, recommended izakayas and other places to enjoy dinner can be learned from the hotel! Although I pondered which one to choose, I never found myself in trouble with no food available.
After dinner, I went to the rooftop bar.
It seems to be a branch of a bar close to the hotel, offering whiskey, beer, and cocktails.
Sipping drinks while enjoying the night view of Fukuoka City from the rooftop created such a moody experience.
Even on a solo trip, I was able to quietly organize my travel memories while enjoying drinks with the night view.
By the way, about the room amenities, there is no bath or refrigerator.
There is a shower. For the refrigerator, you will write your name and checkout date to store items in the lobby's fridge.
There's a water server in the kitchen, so you can fill up your bottle from there and take it back to your room.
As for breakfast, it was a buffet with light foods like croissants and salads.
Since you’re likely to enjoy local foods outside while on a trip, it's just the right amount for breakfast.
Drink tickets were included, so this time, I had ginger ale.
Experiences during the trip
This time, I had lyf staff introduce the recommended points around the hotel.
First up is Manukau Coffee Daimyo store. It's a very popular coffee shop in the city with original beans and tea. Apparently, their cheesecake is also famous.
Next, there's Kego Park and Kego Shrine. I was surprised to find a Blue Bottle Coffee had popped up unexpectedly.
The hotel is located right across the street from Daimyo, making it a great spot for dinner in the area at night.
You can enjoy the limited edition bowl of Tonkotsu ramen at Ichiran Nishidori store, and there's also my favorite, Akadoren.
The Tenjin Bus Center is also nearby, making it easy to explore Fukuoka City from the hotel.
