This is my second time staying here. There aren't many hotels around Chikuzen-Maebara Station, so I tried this guesthouse, which has a very high rating, on my first visit.
I had stayed at a shared room guesthouse before, and had experienced the uncleanliness that was commensurate with the low price, so I checked in after a drinking party without any expectations for this guesthouse.
The moment I opened the door, I was shocked by the nice smell. The inside was very clean, and the shared room bed was also clean. The toilets and showers were all cleaner than my home.
When I asked the manager, he said that it was a new house, and that there was a cleaner on this stay.
That wasn't the only thing that surprised me. In the morning of my first stay, I found out that a professor from Aoyama Gakuin University was staying at the same lodging, and since I'm in the same industry, we had a great time talking. We were on our way around Kyushu.
On my second stay, I was joined by a Swiss man living in Jakarta and a French woman living in a remote area of the Netherlands. The three of us had fun talking in English for two hours.
I hope to have another fun encounter next time, and if so, this will become a "miracle inn" for me.
This is the best guesthouse for a cheap place to stay while traveling alone around Itoshima, and even though it costs a little more in travel costs and travel time, it is far more worthwhile than cheap lodgings in Fukuoka city.
