Tabisai Suite 祇園

There’s no parking on site, so we paid about 2,400 yen for parking during our 2-day, 1-night stay. Still, Hakata Station is less than a 15-minute walk away, and there are well-known Buddhist temples and shrines nearby that are nice to stroll around. The host was friendly, and the place had room for our family of 8. We chose it because weekend hotels in Hakata City were too expensive and we couldn’t find a place for all of us. On the first floor there’s a common area with play equipment, a sofa, and 2 double beds, plus a bathroom and 2 shower rooms. Upstairs, Room 1 has 4 double beds, Room 2 has 2 double beds, and there’s another bathroom.

I had a really comfortable stay, and the service was excellent. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to international travelers. By the way, does anyone know what brand of facial cleanser they provided? It felt really nice to use!

The beds were incredibly soft, the softest I’ve ever slept on. It’s about a five-minute walk from the station, and the surroundings are clean. There are lots of facilities, including a small play area for children.

There’s a convenience store about a three-minute walk away, and for a large group the fee was under 10,000 yen, which felt very reasonable. The inn is about two minutes from Gion Station. It has three bedrooms and two shower rooms, with space for around 10 people. There’s plenty to do, including a Nintendo Switch, projector, ping pong table, and darts, so I ended up spending more time at the inn than I expected while traveling.
