I can't forget the lobby that makes me feel like I've entered the world of Beauty and the Beast! The staff taught me how to check-in with a machine and it went smoothly.

Stayed at "Chapter3 Twin". What I was happy about in the room was that the small mirror had a light. I used it for the first time and felt it was easy to make up ◎

After taking a breather, rent a car and head out for sightseeing in Itoshima! Itoshima City, located in the westernmost part of Fukuoka, is a popular tourist destination along the coast, with plenty of restaurants and cafes as well as photogenic spots. If you visit in the evening, watching the sunset by the sea is a must.
