Experience of the stay
When you think of places to enjoy gourmet food in Fukuoka, you probably imagine the 'Nakasu' Yatai (street stalls). This hotel is located just a few minutes walk from Nakasu! The view of the stalls lined along the riverside is mesmerizing, and it definitely encourages you to enjoy some drinks♪
The room feels like a typical business hotel but is comfortable enough for a stay. In Fukuoka, whether it's day or night, walking outside is a fun experience, so use it as a base for your adventures (laugh).
I think sharing a room for two would be a great deal.
Experiences during the trip
This time I visited Fukuoka for half work and half travel, so I didn't pay much attention to the hotel's location. However, just before going to Fukuoka, I found out that the famous Nakasu Yatai (street stalls) were close by, and I got excited even before I arrived! (laugh)
■ Day 1 (Friday)
I arrived at Fukuoka Airport in the morning and took the train to Tenjin Station.
It's very convenient as you can get to Hakata and Tenjin from Fukuoka Airport in just a few minutes by train. According to people who have moved to Fukuoka, this has become a reason why they like Fukuoka.
I heard that all the shops in Fukuoka are delicious, so I first had Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen near the station at Parco. Despite the fact that it was only 10 am when they opened, there was a long line.
Although I've eaten a lot of Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen in Kanto, authentic ramen from the region was indeed delicious. After that, I checked into the hotel and spent some time doing remote work.
In the evening, I met up with colleagues and headed to Nakasu.
Rather than going to flashy restaurants, we drank at a quaint izakaya (Japanese pub) with only counter seats where local people are likely to come. All the dishes were delicious, and I was very satisfied with the low prices!
Afterward, we moved to the riverside and drank at the Nakasu Yatai. Even though it was late at night, all the stalls were crowded. My friend and I sat at a small table where we were almost touching the neighboring customers. Truly, drinking outside is exceptional. I was so happy that I felt like crying (laugh).
After midnight, we were still able to keep drinking, so we ended up at a stylish bar until about 2 am before heading back to the hotel.
■ Day 2 (Saturday)
The second day was the main day of the IT networking event for this trip. Because I had drunk too much the night before, I slept comfortably in the hotel bed until around 1 pm (laugh).
The networking event I held was a great success with over 40 people in attendance! The people of Fukuoka are very warm, and I quickly became friends with many of them♪
■ Day 3 (Sunday)
On the third day, I drank with friends at izakayas until the time of the return flight and visited several shrines. For the final meal, I had "Shio Motsunabe" and "Mentaiko" before safely concluding my journey.
I always thought Fukuoka was a nice place, but this journey made me think I would like to live there!
