The onsen includes separate male and female baths, as well as a private bath. The female bath has an open-air bath. With fewer guests, we enjoyed soaking both at night and in the morning without encountering anyone. The hostess is very nice. 🍴 Food Recommendation: Yakiniku Kuramoto Main Store, reasonably priced and delicious. Reservations can be made via Google. It offers private rooms for a high level of privacy. 📌 Practical Tips: There are several 100-yen shops around Hakata Station, including Daiso, Seria, and 3coins, which are great choices for affordable shopping.
