Good food, slow days and little adventures.
A calm, design-led base in Shirogane — about 4 minutes on foot from Yakuin Station, with Tenjin, Imaizumi and the neighbourhood cafés close by.
Our one-night heritage stay in Yame’s old town. This is not just a place to sleep — we are deliberately keeping the late afternoon and evening slow so we can enjoy the timber interiors, tatami rooms, private wooden bath, tea and a quiet night in Yame.
After the daytime tea shops and old-town walk, we come back around late afternoon, take a proper bath, slow down and use the hotel. Dinner can be reserved nearby, then it is straight back to the room.









We are staying in Shirogane, just east of Yakuin Station. It gives us a quieter neighbourhood feel while keeping Tenjin walkable and Hakata only a short subway ride away.
Yakuin Station · about 260m / 4 min walk
Watanabe-dōri Station · about 660m / 10 min walk
Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) · about 920m / 13 min walk
