9h Nine Hours Nakasukawabata Station

Let's start with the downsides: The hotel's location was incredibly difficult to find (it took me almost an hour). Google Maps only led me to the west side of the mall. I eventually went down to the basement and asked a kind Japanese woman for help, and she led me directly to the hotel entrance (which is actually in the mall's basement, something I never would have guessed!). A special thanks to that kind person. Now for the upsides: 1. The hotel front desk staff were very professional and spoke English. They clearly explained all the important details. A nightly accommodation tax of 200 yen is required upon check-in. 2. The hotel maintains excellent hygiene, with bedding changed daily (though not the bed itself). This means you need to temporarily check out by 10 AM each day, return your pajamas and room key, but you can still leave your belongings in your locker. In other words, from 10 AM to 3 PM (when the hotel cleans), you'll need to vacate the sleeping/washing area. You can relax in the common area of the lobby, or even better, go out and explore or shop. This might not be ideal for those who like to sleep in, but personally, I quite like this management style. 3. The hotel offers a capsule-style sleeping arrangement. Some people might not be used to it, so choose carefully. However, there's a curtain you can pull down to ensure privacy. Due to some guests snoring loudly, light sleepers might easily be woken up. 4. The washing and showering facilities are very clean, with a wet/dry separation. The toilets are separate from the shower area, preventing odors. Each toilet stall is an independent space with a smart toilet. 5. The hotel's location is superb! It's directly connected to a shopping mall and a subway station, making it incredibly convenient for exploring different places. There's a Starbucks at the mall entrance, where I had breakfast both mornings.

Better than expected! The sleeping area was really quiet, and everyone was considerate about keeping the washrooms clean. The shower pressure was amazing! Being able to charge my devices directly in the capsule was super convenient. The only downside was the lack of luggage storage, and they've started charging for toothbrushes and toothpaste.

This was my first time trying a capsule hotel, and it was much cleaner and more comfortable than I expected! I personally loved the environment inside the capsule; it was very spacious and futuristic. The best part was the pillow – it had a unique shape, indented in the middle and raised on the sides, making it incredibly comfortable whether I slept on my side or my back. Upon check-in, they provided a towel, toothbrush, earplugs, and pajamas. The pajamas were a bit tight around the neck, but other than that, everything was perfect. I would definitely consider staying here again!

Aside from the lounge being a bit too small, the facilities and location were excellent. Being able to take the airport subway directly from the hotel is a huge plus.

It's truly just a place to sleep 💤. Even if you don't bring anything, they provide clean pajamas for changing, and the washroom is quite comfortable, but there are only basic toiletries and nothing else, which is a bit of a shame… Besides the excellent location, there's not much else to say. 😅

The location is superb, situated in the basement of a department store. You can take escalators and elevators for easy access, and the walkways to the hotel are air-conditioned, which is very comfortable. It's directly opposite Kawabata Shopping Street, and a 2-minute walk diagonally will take you to Don Quijote. The 5th floor also features the Anpanman Children's Museum. The interior is spacious and comfortable. There are plenty of vanity areas and shower facilities, so you never have to wait. Organizing luggage is also convenient. This will definitely be a great choice for my next visit to Fukuoka.

This place is super convenient as it's directly connected to the subway station. After midnight, some exits are restricted, but once you're above ground, there's a convenience store, and just a short walk leads to plenty of restaurants and shops. It's only one subway stop from Tenjin Station, so it's a great base no matter where you're headed. If you stay multiple nights, you can use the lockers for free, which is perfect for storing large suitcases. They clean the beds daily. They also provide amenities like loungewear, slippers, and towels. The in-facility Wi-Fi doesn't reach the beds, so you might need your own mobile hotspot. Food is only allowed in the area next to the front desk. If you have a busy schedule and just need a place to sleep at night, this is a good option.

I was a bit sleep-deprived from the snoring, but other than that, it was comfortable.
