Experience of the stay
Busan is easily accessible as there are ferries from Fukuoka for those in Kyushu.
Since it was my first time in Korea, I chose this place for its convenience.
Even without speaking English, they understood I was Japanese and spoke to me in Japanese, making check-in smooth. Also, when contacting the front desk, all the staff spoke fluent Japanese, making it a comfortable stay for those who may struggle with English or feel insecure about it. However, the currency exchange machine at the front desk has high fees, so it's better to exchange money at the nearby exchange office within walking distance.
The first floor has a café, so you can relax and grab a light snack while working on your PC. There is also a convenience store, so you can go out to buy something even late at night if you get hungry.
Experiences during the trip
With a large Seomyeon Station nearby, transportation is very convenient. Gamcheon Culture Village and Busan Tower are must-visit places, and the International Culture Village was lively even on weekdays.
The skyline of Marine City visible from Haeundae Beach was impressive, making me feel that Korea is indeed an advanced country.
