THE BASICS FUKUOKA
The room was good-sized, but without a closet. The beds were comfortable. There were many nearby restaurants, but the hotel did not have a place for dinner dining. Although the atrium was spectacular, the room was grim—almost no color except gray, black and tan.

JR KYUSHU HOTEL Blossom Hakata Chuo
