Business Ryokan Matsubaya (Formerly: Business Yamato)

I booked this B&B originally to see the wisteria in Zhongshan, but I gained even better memories than the wisteria flowers. The B&B is very close to Nakajima Station, just across the street. The courtyard is in the center surrounded by houses. It was still rainy when I went there, but whether the sun was out or not, you could appreciate the aesthetic taste of the courtyard owner. The proprietress is a hospitable and considerate person. Her English level is better than 90% of the Japanese I met during my travels, so there was no communication barrier. We chatted like friends, and she mostly listened carefully to me talking about my travels and past experiences, Japanese swords and Chinese TV dramas... She also recommended the cafeteria and convenience stores here to me. The cafeteria is cheap and delicious, and the portions are big. There was a cute Buxi doll lying at her feet, and I felt very happy listening to the townspeople chatting and drinking and eating yakitori (even though I didn't understand them). The house is a Japanese tatami house, but the facilities are clean and tidy, and the toilet and bathroom are very new. It should be said that the proprietress takes good care of it. She is really a person who loves life. Living here can also be infected by her mentality. Even if you leave, you will keep reminiscing about it. You will want to live here next time you return to Fukuoka.

It was great to experience this traditional home-style inn that is run by hard work during this trip to Japan. It is a 2-minute walk from Nishitetsu Nakajima Station. I was the only guest there when it was snowing on the day I arrived. The proprietress was kind and friendly and spoke good English. She prepared different and rich breakfasts and dinners for me every day. In addition, the bathing room can be used alone. I slept very well after two consecutive nights of bathing. Although the inn is a bit old, all places used by guests are very clean, which makes people feel at ease. ￥15000 for two nights with breakfast and dinner included, exclusive use of the bathroom, and for this price on Friday and Saturday nights, I will stay again. There is delicious eel rice 14 minutes' walk away, and there is a fish shop that grills seafood next to the 7-11 3 minutes' walk away. *The only thing I would like to remind you is that it is inconvenient to carry large luggage, because you have to walk up stairs to Nishitetsu Nakajima Station and you also have to carry the luggage up stairs to the hotel, but I was able to move it freely with a 28-inch suitcase.

It's about a 3-minute walk from Nishitetsu Nakajima and the breakfast is delicious. Very suitable for people traveling alone 🙏

Our family of four stayed Let the children experience a more authentic accommodation in Japan, they find it very interesting I have read other reviews before checking in, you can refer to them Can't praise enough the fish they cook for dinner and breakfast is amazing! The only downside is that there is no hair dryer provided, which is not very convenient for the three of us women with long hair.

I went to Saga to meet a friend and it was close so I went there and came back. Even though I arrived late, the staff was kind and it was great that I could take a bath at night.

I recommend this hotel. 1. The transportation is convenient. It is about 100 meters away from Nishitetsu Nakajima Station. There is no stationmaster at this station. If you are not using an IC card, remember to get an "entry certificate" when entering the station. It only takes 100 meters to go to Yanagawa. 3 stops. 2. The food is good, at home cooking level, but full of sincerity. 3. The boss lady can speak good English.
