9/10 Wonderful! (1,010 reviews)
First time in Japan, travelled as a couple from Busan, South Korea.
Pros:
1. Excellent location for first time in Fukuoka. Easily walkable to Hakata and Tenjin too. Nakasu has lots of good food options, Tenjin has excellent shopping. Safe to walk at night.
2. Hotel room reasonably priced for 4 star hotel. Loved the Toto bidet toilet. Rooftop onsen was a revelation, so peaceful and relaxing.
3. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. All my requests were cheerfully and efficiently done.
4. Room colour palette was almost boudoir-like; very romantic if that is your cup of tea.
5. Fukuoka subways are incredibly efficient, comfortable, safe, and affordable compared to London Underground.
Cons:
1. Be aware discreet red light district adjacent to some Nakasu hotels, though none visible near Mitsui Garden Hotel Nakasu Fukuoka.
2. Lots to do in Fukuoka. We only barely scratched the surface during our two day stay.
