2 days and 1 night stay with friends
Here is a travelogue of a woman who visited Fukuoka with a female friend and actually stayed at "THE BASICS FUKUOKA".
First day
Start13:00
About 12 minutes by car from Fukuoka Airport to the inn
Arrive at Fukuoka Airport
Enjoy a local lunch
Fukuoka Airport is an urban type that boasts a good location within about 5 kilometers from downtown Fukuoka. The hotel is about 12 minutes by car from the airport and about 7 minutes on foot from Hakata Station. After arriving at the airport, enjoy a local lunch such as ramen or udon♪
Check-in15:00
Arrive at the inn
Atrium is about 42m!
Check in surrounded by books
Upon arrival at the hotel, you will be captivated by the unique exterior designed by world-famous architect Michael Graves. Approximately 5,000 books are stored in the lobby library immediately after entering the building, which will stimulate your intellectual curiosity.
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.
Room15:10
like a library
Relaxing guest room
There are 238 guest rooms of 20 types. They are named "Chapter", "Episode" and "Story" after the lobby library. Episode and Story guests can also use the exclusive club lounge ◎
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 ◎
Sightseeing15:20
About 35 minutes by car from the inn to the center of Itoshima
Abundant spots to shine
Head to Itoshima, the heart-throbbing place
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.
After checking in, rent a car near the hotel and head to Itoshima! I was very satisfied with being able to go to the "Palm Tree Swing" and "Itoshima Shokudo" on the premises of "Live Fish Chaya Zauo"♪
Dinner19:30
Around the inn
at restaurants and stalls
Enjoy a Hakata-style dinner
Dinner time after sightseeing. The hotel is located about a 7-minute walk from Hakata Station, so there are plenty of restaurants in the area. You can enjoy local gourmet dishes such as motsunabe and mizutaki at the shop, or you can stroll around the stalls lined with ramen and oden ◎
I went to a motsunabe restaurant called "Maedaya," which is about a 3-minute walk from the hotel. It was nice to be able to eat Fukuoka's specialties nearby ^ ^
Lounge21:00
At the lounge "NOMBRE"
quality time
Episode and Story guests have exclusive access to the lounge. At night, you can enjoy coffee using beans from a popular coffee shop in Osaka, wine, beer, sake, snacks such as salmon and cheese, and sweets.
Night22:00
Surrounded by healing goods
Bath and sleep preparation...
The amenity brand in the bathroom is from "CO Bigelow," which is said to be the oldest dispensing pharmacy in the United States. When you feel refreshed while being wrapped in a nice scent, you will be healed by the plump feeling of Imabari's "I fell in love with the towel".
The washroom is spacious and the mirror in the bathroom is large, so everyone could use it even if they were on a girls' trip! The gray pajamas were a separate type and it was easy to sleep ♪
the 2nd day
Activity07:00
At a gym with machines
exercise before breakfast
Work out in the complimentary fitness room for hotel guests and work up an appetite before breakfast. Basic machines such as treadmills and exercise bikes are available. Don't forget to bring clothes, shoes, and towels.
Breakfast08:00
Savor the delicacies of Fukuoka
Breakfast buffet
For breakfast, try the buffet at "WHY NOT," which offers over 50 different dishes. The menu includes Fukuoka-style items such as vegetables from Itoshima, steaks cooked right in front of you by the chef, and "Sachi-chan Ramen" produced by Hakata Ikkosha. You'll be excited from the morning.
During my stay, the COVID-19 pandemic was still in full swing, so breakfast was delivered to my room and I could choose between Japanese and Western style! Both came with salad, yogurt, and juice, so I was very satisfied in the morning!
Check-out11:00
leave the inn
enjoy art and music
check out
Until the check-out time, go to explore the hotel. Art such as objects and paintings by young artists, mainly from Kyushu, are scattered throughout the museum. How about taking a photo while listening to the background music selected by DJ Toshio Matsuura?
Sightseeing11:30
About 7 minutes on foot from the inn to Hakata Station
At Hakata Station, the center of Fukuoka
Exciting Souvenir Hunting
After leaving the hotel, walk about 7 minutes to Hakata Station. It is a place full of gourmet and shopping spots, centered on JR Hakata City, a large commercial facility directly connected to the station. You can also search for Hakata-style souvenirs such as the famous confection "Hakata Torimon" and mentaiko.
I went to a cafe near Hakata Station and bought some souvenirs. "Hakata Men Kaido" was full of ramen shops, and it was fun because it was like Fukuoka♪
Return trip14:00

Two days spent happily with friends at a hotel in the central area of Fukuoka. Browse the lobby library and art galleries, or relax in an environment surrounded by books and music. Would you like to stay at a stylish hotel where you can feel extraordinary?
