In Fukuoka you can choose to stay in a Western style hotel in the city center or you can choose to stay in the Yamanoue Ryokan 10 minutes from the railway station on the hillsides surrounding this magnificant city and giving you a real wow view -
this hotel has tatami rooms and western style rooms, an inside onsen and one of the best restaurants in Fukuoka where Japanse haute cuisine is served by an English speaking maître d'hôtel.
I would say this is the perfect hotel for people who like the hussle and bussle of the city during the day but who want to stay in a high quality, agreable and quite environment at night.
The room prices are very reasonable - the restaurant also if you take into consideration that you will be served top quality kaiseiki-like menu.
Also important to mention is the friendliness of all the people working in this place whose aim is really to make you feel at home.
