When traveling to Japan, do you often worry about breakfast? Especially when traveling with the whole family for a full day of sightseeing, not having a full meal early in the morning is likely to become a spark of argument during the trip! Therefore, the easiest option is to have breakfast at a hotel. This time I want to introduce you to a hotel where you can have luxurious and delicious breakfast!
The hotel I want to introduce to you this time belongs to “Mitsui Fudosan”, which is very familiar as a part of Mitsui group and is very famous in everything from shopping malls to hotel management. Mitsui Fudosan has three main hotel brands, ” THE CELESTINE HOTELS ” that combines local customs and artistic aesthetics, ” sequence ” with the concept of Smart,Open, and Culture , and “Mitsui Garden Hotels ” with the concept of “Stay in the Garden”.
What I want to recommend to you this time is the most proud “delicious breakfast” in Japan’s “Mitsui Garden Hotel” series. It is not only luxurious and delicious, but also combined with local characteristics. It can be said that it starts with breakfast early in the morning. Traveling to Fukuoka is a popular choice for traveling to Japan. This time Japanaholic actually went to “Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Gion” and “Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Nakasu” to experience the famous and delicious breakfast in person!
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at a popular spot: Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Gion
In addition to its excellent breakfast, Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Gion also has an impeccable geographical advantage! After exiting JR Hakata Station, it only takes seven minutes to walk on a flat road to reach it.
Directly opposite the hotel is the convenience store 7-ELEVEN, and diagonally across is Canal City Hakata, a must-see in Fukuoka, which is just a 1-minute walk away! Matsumoto Kiyoshi Drug Store is also nearby. If you accidentally buy too much, you can go back to the hotel first, take a short break, and then fight again with full health. Just a few minutes’ walk away from Kushida Shrine, the center of Fukuoka’s faith, it is truly the best quality hotel for your trip to Fukuoka!
“Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Gion” is themed after the Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival and is full of Fukuoka elements. In addition to the works of authors and explanatory signs placed in the lobby and corridors, “Hakata-ori woven textile” patterns can also be seen in the rooms, making you feel the love for Fukuoka! Not only does it have a “sleep” function, but you can also fully enjoy the elements of local culture in every corner of the hotel. This is the taste of travel.
After checking in in the lobby, you will receive different colored key cards for men and women. In addition to the room key, you can also enter the large public bath, so be sure to keep it safe! As soon as you enter the double room, the bright and calm Hakata-ori texture wall decoration is eye-catching. Seeing Canal City Hakata outside the window makes people excited about shopping! In addition to “Please clean” and “No need to clean”, the magnet on the door also has a very special “I’m fine”. When an earthquake or other unexpected disaster occurs, this card will be posted outside the door, and the service staff won’t disturb you! Even if the guests do not speak Japanese, these magnets can help to communicate with hotel staff.
There is no need to worry about the most crucial charging issue for travelers! There are enough sockets on the bedside tables and beside the tables, so that travelers can not only replenish their “stamina” during their stay, but also get a perfect supply of “electricity”.
The large public bath “Hakata Tenku no Yu” , a great companion for travelers, is designed so that you can enjoy the seasonal scenery of the garden while soaking in the bath. It also has an open-air hot spring and a steam sauna, so that everyone can eliminate physical and mental fatigue at once! This is exactly the “Retreat yourself” in the spirit of Stay in the Garden.
When eating in Japan, do you often have the problem of eating too much food and not enough vegetables and fruits? As long as you stay at “Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Gion”, this problem can be easily solved!
The place that provides breakfast at “Mitsui Garden Hotel Fukuoka Gion” actually has a lot of history. It is the famous local Hakata seafood restaurant “UODEN” in Fukuoka. It is located in the lobby on the ground floor of the hotel. There will be a long queue at noon. It’s a super famous restaurant, but guests can easily have breakfast there, which makes people feel so superior!
UODEN uses ingredients directly delivered from farmers in Itoshima, Fukuoka. The wide selection of fruits and vegetables will definitely satisfy food-loving travelers. Of course, there is also Fukuoka’s must-eat mentaiko, spicy cod roe, which you can eat to your heart’s content!
Since the word “SEAFOOD” is in the name of the store, the seafood is of course a must-try! Here, fresh sashimi such as sea bream and flounder are on display, delivered directly from Genkainada. We also recommend that you make a rice bowl of your choice (Nokkedon), where you can stack the sashimi you want to eat according to your taste. Serve it on rice with sesame soy sauce or paste made from Japanese mountain yam for seasoning. It will definitely make your taste buds feel happy from early in the morning. Chawanmushi, Japanese fried chicken and French toast are also popular meals.
And if you are a loyal fan of Japanese rice, you have come to the right place! We provide 2 to 3 types of high-quality white rice from all over Kyushu every day for everyone to try. If you have your own philosophy on the stickiness, hardness, sweetness and aroma of rice, why not give it a try and see if you have a chance to meet the “rice of destiny” in your mind. In addition to the delicious white rice, there are so many delicious side dishes to go with the meal that it’s dizzying, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough to go with it!
