숙소의 컨디션이 너무 좋아서 만족하며 생활하였습니다. 특히 아이와 부모님과 함께 동행한 여행으로 방이 구분되어있어 정말 좋았습니다. 독채의 건물을 모두 사용하며, 복층으로 구성되어 있었고 에어컨도 잘 작동되어 좋았습니다^^ 다만, 위치가 조금 아쉬웠습니다. 하카타역, 텐진역 중간부분에 위치했지만, 역과의 거리는 꽤나 멀어서 이동에는 다소 불편한 부분이 있었습니다.

A wonderful room that was very clean and well-maintained — a comfortable stay throughout. The kitchen was spacious and easy to use, so we enjoyed cooking together. We were four women traveling, and the wide vanity area made morning routines much easier. There were many delicious restaurants nearby, and Yakuin Station is within walking distance. The beds were soft and fluffy — we slept really well. The host was always quick to respond, giving us peace of mind. Our Fukuoka trip was made even better by this place! We would definitely stay again.

Staying at this traditional Japanese-style accommodation was a wonderful experience. The location is excellent — both Lawson and 7-Eleven are just a 2-minute walk away. Despite being in a quiet area, there are several cafes and restaurants nearby. The rooms were very clean and the air conditioning worked perfectly. A major plus for us was the parking lot, which can accommodate large vehicles like a Toyota Alphard. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

About the Properties

What is the difference between Kiyokawa and Takasago?

Kiyokawa accommodates up to 8 guests and features 3 double beds + 2 single bed, a private parking space, and a riverside location along the Nakagawa River. Takasago accommodates up to 6 guests and is located in cosy and hip residential area, a short walk from Yakuin Station. Both properties are newly built, whole-house rentals with full kitchens and SIMMONS premium mattresses.

Are the properties entire homes? Can other guests enter?

What kinds of trips are the houses good for?
