Fukuoka Prefecture

Before my first trip to Fukuoka, I diligently researched ChatGPT, Google reviews, and blog posts, and chose the Mitsui Garden Hotel Gion, which is popular with Korean families. It was within walking distance of Hakata Station, had a 7-Eleven across the crosswalk, and a MaxValu 24-hour store nearby, making it convenient to buy things like pre-cut fruit. Getting to Tenjin was also easy, whether from Gion or Hakata, or even Kushinsha, depending on the itinerary, so the subway accessibility was excellent. It was surprisingly closer than it appeared on Google Maps! Amenities like toothbrushes, toothpaste, body towels, shower caps, shampoo, conditioner, face cleanser, and cotton swabs are all available in the lobby for guests to take at any time, and they are also fully stocked in the 13th-floor public bath and in the rooms. You truly only need to bring yourself to this accommodation. Other reviews mentioned relieving fatigue in the public bath and open-air bath, so I went right when it opened at 5 AM and quickly took some photos since no one else was there. After returning from outings in the hot weather, I visited the public bath twice a day for all three nights. There was a staff member who spoke Korean well, and they were very kind and helpful. The standard double room was fine for two adults with two suitcases (24-inch and 20-inch) opened and used. There was a sofa and a table, so we could eat snacks we bought, and the refrigerator kept things cold. Since it was summer and we drank a lot of water, we continuously got bottled water from the front desk every time we returned from an outing. I think we received over 10 bottles of water. It's great for families, and if you're traveling with parents, the public bath is a huge advantage. We had a wonderful 3-night stay at the friendly Mitsui Garden.

We really enjoy our 5-day stay in the hotel. Very clean, accommodating and helpful staff, good location and resonably price. Highly recommended. And if your are a Catholic, the church is just across the street, you can take the English Sunday mass. I will definitely come back to this hotel. Very good experience.

The location of the hotel is so near to the Hakata Station. Going anywhere is so convenient. The room is big and spacious. The cleanliness is good. The bed are comfortable.

Hotel Location: Convenient, the hotel has paid parking, and there are also many parking lots nearby, making it car-friendly. It's very convenient, located near a subway station. It's just a few minutes' walk to the original Ichiran Ramen, and there are convenience stores, Matsumoto Kiyoshi, Don Quijote, and more nearby. Canal City is also only a twelve-minute walk away. Service: The staff are friendly and kind, with good English skills, so communication is not an issue. Breakfast: Breakfast is served in the restaurant next to the 1st floor. There's a wide variety of Japanese and Western dishes, all fresh and delicious!

The room for one person is stylishly decorated, and the view from the window is especially good. Even with luggage, the room still feels spacious. The room is equipped with basically all necessities, such as slippers, disposable toothbrushes, a hairdryer, a small refrigerator... There is a room cleaning service almost every day. The bathroom is beautiful, and the bathtub is clean and suitable for taking a bath. The transportation is also very convenient; it's right outside the city center and a five-minute walk from the station. Very satisfied! 👍

I’ve stayed in this hotel for 6 nights, not consecutive though, as I had been traveling to Yufuin in between. I arrived early in the morning, had been greeted warmly by a lady staff. It was raining heavily and I got all wet. She immediately handed me a towel which made me feel warm and care! Then I told her my reservation had been made from different platforms, she patiently looked into their system and found my bookings, really much appreciated her kind support, care and friendly service! Ichiban! When I came back for the second check-in, it was also in the morning time, they did it efficiently and immediately found my booking. They even helped to put my luggages to my room when I came back after dinner in the evening. Overall in terms of the hotel services, location, room size, amenities are all good. I’ll definitely choose this hotel again if I’m traveling to Fukuoka next time!

It was my first time visiting Fukuoka, and I loved it so much. It wasn't like a crazy busy market; I liked the calm and quiet atmosphere, and all the staff were friendly! The exterior was also magnificent, and the interior itself was like a work of art, so I was almost sad that I couldn't spend more time at the hotel. I was worried that Japanese hotel rooms would be small, but the room here was spacious and very satisfying! I would like to stay here again next time I visit. I was worried that there wouldn't be many options for breakfast, but it turned out to be a delicious and well-organized spread!
