Hotel Dengan Gym di Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan

Facilities: The hotel, built in 2021, is quite new. I stayed on the fifth floor, and they have ice makers and water dispensers, so it's fine even if your room doesn't come with complimentary water. This is also the only hotel where you can add an extra bed and the room is 40 square meters. They even allow luggage storage until my next stay. I've checked with all the surrounding five-star hotels, and they either have small rooms, expensive rooms, don't allow extra beds, or can't store luggage for an extended period. This is truly a major highlight! Hygiene: I have to complain about the hygiene. In room 507, the bathroom sink had no cover, and there were many tiny flying insects inside. I sprayed mosquito repellent here, and it was only when I saw many dead insects at the opening that I realized the issue. My son even got bitten and had bumps on his chest. Environment: It's super convenient, only 150 meters from Hakata Chikushi-guchi. Yodobashi Camera is right across the street, so you can shop 'til you drop! There are also many convenience stores nearby. Service: The breakfast selection isn't huge, but it's fine for a one-day stay. I highly recommend the breakfast coffee – it's very rich.

I wanted to take it easy, so I took a relaxing solo trip nearby. I stayed at Hotel Shirasagi because I had great memories of a friend holding his wedding there a long time ago. The exterior is a little old, but the rooms and baths were clean and nice! This time I only stayed for breakfast, but there are izakayas and convenience stores nearby, so it's easy to do some shopping. Afterwards, I went to the hot springs with a friend on another day. I recommend it.

On the mountain, there is no light on the mountain road at night. Pay attention to safety when driving. There is a large bathhouse. It is good. On the day of check-in, there are fireworks. It is super close to the fireworks in Lingtai. It is awesome, but I don’t know it beforehand. Haha.
