I have stayed at Hyatt Regency Fukuoka, Grand Hyatt Fukuoka, Hotel Okura Fukuoka, and many other hotels, but this is my first time at this hotel. There are buses from the airport, Hakata, and Tenjin to this hotel, so it is surprisingly convenient. It costs around 1400 yen by taxi from Nakasu Kawabata to the hotel. Since the number of buses from the airport is limited, you can move to Hakata Station first and then go to the hotel from Hakata Bus Center. It takes about 30 minutes via the highway. The hotel is a large building facing the sea, and I had always wanted to stay here after seeing it from the highway before. Despite its large size, the number of employees seems to be small, and the lack of communication among employees gives an impression of inconsistent service. This may lead to frustration for elderly guests expecting a higher level of service. However, I stayed in an executive room, so I was able to use the rock bath on the 4th floor. It is not a hot spring, so the regular usage fee for the public bath is 1600 yen per visit (which I do not think is worth the price). The rock bath is tricky, as Chinese and Korean children use it like a pool, and the water flow is minimal, making it seem not very hygienic. The room is on the 30th floor with a view of Fukuoka Tower, which was so beautiful that I went up to the observation deck on the second night. Fukuoka's night view is very beautiful. Fukuoka Tower has exceeded 30 years since its opening, and although I climbed up to the observation deck for the first time, it was truly wonderful. I highly recommend it. The use of the executive floor also allows access to the lounge, but the cocktail time is short at 2 hours, and the quality is not great, with a very crowded atmosphere. I stopped having meals in the lounge and instead had a buffet at Seara on the 4th floor. There was a water-cooked soup corner, but it seemed unappealing to foreign tourists as there were hardly any people eating there. The hotel lobby is on the 4th floor, and Seara, which serves as a brasserie and lounge, is located on the lobby floor. The omelets are made to order, which was very nice. Unlike hotels in Hakata or Tenjin, this hotel is far from the bustling areas, so it seems more like a resort by the sea. Hyatt Regency Osaka in Osaka is also located away from the city center, so it seems suitable for a relaxing stay at the hotel.
