Last day of the business trip! I'll have a hearty breakfast. There was a famous menu item like motsu nabe ramen, but I chose something more ordinary. Sausages, thick omelette, bacon, and squid shumai. A breakfast that doesn't try too hard to impress is good. I indulged in some fried chicken, but the coating was a bit hard. Still, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The excitement of the concert (double header) is still fresh in my mind, and it's a pleasant morning. I chose this hotel based on its proximity to the tour venue (Fukuoka Civic Hall). I had forgotten that I had booked a plan with breakfast included, but when I checked in, I received breakfast vouchers. The breakfast venue opened at 7:00, so I left my room at that time and found that there were already more than 10 people there. I decided to try the plate udon (Chinese bowl of toppings with thin fried noodles) which was unusual, instead of rice. The variety wasn't extensive, but the quality was good. I usually regret taking too much food, but this time I managed to restrain myself, thinking about the French lunch I would have later in the day.

I stayed at this hotel in Fukuoka. For breakfast, we could choose dishes covered with wraps by ourselves. There were mentaiko (spicy cod roe), motsunabe (offal hot pot), and plate udon, which was a satisfying breakfast without being too much or too little. The building and facilities of this hotel may feel a bit old, but the hospitality of the staff stands out. They really want you to have a comfortable time. They were very helpful with using Wi-Fi after check-out. I think it was a good hotel. By the way, from Tenjin Station, the closest place is the Futata fashion building for men. Futata has been around since my student days, where I bought a soft suit (imitation) that was popular at the time and wore it confidently to a group date (embarrassing) (laughs). Of course, there is no trace of that time, but Futata is still there. The appearance of Tenjin has changed drastically, so it's a bit nostalgic and happy to see buildings and shops from the past.

I used this hotel for a certain meeting. On this day of board member elections, everyone is filled with the feeling of "I definitely won't take on any roles." But my bad feeling came true, and I was given the most troublesome role (-｡-;). The bento box had cold side dishes and dry rice (TT) What a day!!! There's no doubt that the venue will be changed next year (lol)

Fukuoka Trip: Starting with breakfast at the hotel restaurant "Kasumigi". The breakfast buffet offers a variety of 30 dishes for 1300 yen. It is a good value for the price and includes both Japanese and Western options. It is recommended to book a stay with breakfast included for even more savings and a satisfying dining experience.

I visited a buffet lunch with a high adult ratio after a long time. The variety of dishes is not that large, but the choice of variations reflects the popularity among adults. Among them, the carefully prepared roast beef is served one plate at a time. The dessert also varies in the number of items depending on the day.

I stayed at this hotel located about a 1-minute walk from the live house DRUM B1, where my favorite artist was performing. The hotel does not have its own parking lot, so I used a coin parking lot on the north side that they were affiliated with. The staff kindly offered to help if I got lost due to the one-way streets, but I had no trouble finding the parking lot with my navigation system. When I went to check in, they informed me that there was a mistake and I was given a twin room instead of a single room, but at the single room rate. I was fine with that since I just needed a place to sleep. The room was surprisingly clean and the hotel itself was also very clean. I had booked a plan with breakfast included, so the next morning I went to the restaurant for the buffet breakfast. The restaurant was spacious and the buffet had a wide variety of dishes to choose from. I ended up with a plate like the one in the photo after randomly selecting my choices. The food was delicious and although I wanted to eat more, I refrained from doing so to leave some for other guests. The location is within walking distance from Tenjin, so it is convenient for exploring other dining options for dinner. The staff at the front desk were wonderful and the reasonably priced accommodation plan was attractive. I would love to stay here again if I have the chance. Thank you for the great experience.

This is a workplace alumni gathering. There were about 100 participants. The venue was Ark Hotel Royal Fukuoka Tenjin. It is a hotel located within walking distance of about 5-6 minutes north from Nishitetsu Fukuoka Station. It was my first time entering the hotel, even though it is in my usual activity area. When I went up to the 3rd floor in the elevator, there was a large hall. After checking in, we drew lots for seating. There were familiar faces, but there were also many unfamiliar faces. The opening ceremony was followed by operational reports, accounting audits, and finally a toast. However, as everyone gets older, the greetings get longer, reminiscent of the PTA chairman's speech at an elementary school sports festival. After the beer foam in everyone's cups disappeared, we finally made a toast and the social gathering began. At each table with 8 people, a rotating table like in a Nagasaki-style Chinese restaurant was set up with large dishes of food. Since everyone was of a certain age, the food was served rather than buffet style, which made it easy. However, there was no menu for the dishes, so we had no idea what kind of food would come out at what timing. Dishes like roast chicken open sandwich, octopus and seaweed vinegar miso, avocado and shrimp salad, and grilled squid dumplings were served. At this point, I moved around to greet other acquaintances. In the middle, a large plate of cut steak was served. It was thick, tender, full of meaty flavor, and tasted great with the sauce. It was really delicious. The steak served at the banquet was the best value for money. I also remember the conger eel sushi and mini cakes for dessert, but I don't remember if there were any other dishes as I was busy greeting people. Alcohol was also all-you-can-drink, but I refrained from drinking only beer. I had a safe and enjoyable time. If I have the chance to visit here again, I must try the steak. Thank you for the meal.

I didn't stay overnight, but I had the breakfast buffet. There were about 5-6 types of bread and drinks available. They also had morning curry (2 types), mentaiko, simmered vegetables, and motsunabe. The breakfast area was not too big, making it easy to get what you want. The staff were attentive and even provided paper cups for takeout, so you could take your favorite drink with you. At 1,300 yen, the price was very reasonable considering the variety of food offered.

When staying in Fukuoka, it is difficult to make a reservation in popular areas such as Hakata or near Tenjin for dinner. This was my first time staying at this hotel, and it had a classy and luxurious feel in the entrance and the service at the front desk was polite. The room was also very clean and nice. The breakfast was included and it was a buffet style. The taste was quite good for this type of hotel buffet, with a decent variety of Japanese and Western dishes. There was also a good selection of drinks like coffee, juice, and milk. I would definitely stay here again if I have the chance.

I was intrigued by the buffet where the chef cuts roast beef right in front of you for 1,260 yen, so I decided to go check it out. It's a bit away from the hustle and bustle of Tenjin, so the surroundings are quiet. As soon as you enter the hotel entrance and walk towards the back of the lobby, you'll find the reception. The staff, being from a hotel, were very polite, and the venue was spacious with comfortable seating. The variety of dishes was abundant, ranging from fried foods like fried chicken, Chinese dishes like shumai, traditional Japanese dishes like simmered dishes, chestnut rice, salad bar, desserts including cakes, fruits, and even ice cream. And on top of all that, there's the highlight of the roast beef that the chef cuts in front of you. All of this for 1,260 yen! The roast beef, cut thickly, was incredibly tender and juicy, almost like steak. It was so delicious that I ended up having about four plates. The value of this alone is significant. When there are fewer people, the chef may place the cut pieces on a plate and step back, but as soon as they run out, he comes out to cut more. There are two types of sauces available, but I personally prefer the Japanese-style sauce. When paying, if you present your Ponta card, you'll receive 30 points, so it's a good idea for Ponta cardholders to remember to bring it along.

We went with four people on September 30th. It cost 1,260 yen and all four of us want to go again. The steak was tender and delicious. When there are many customers, the chef slices the steak and arranges it on plates, but when there are few customers, you have to order two steaks and wait in front of the steak corner. We didn't understand this (neither did the other customers), so we thought the steak was finished, but when we asked, we found out it was an order system. This was a bit of a downside for the service. The food, compared to other buffet restaurants, doesn't have anything outstanding, but it feels like it's made with care. The taste is not bland. They replenish it quickly when it runs out. The curry is authentic and spicy. The vegetable curry was spicy and delicious. An elderly lady kept getting refills of curry. The dessert had fresh fruits and they replenished them quickly when they ran out. The ice cream was gelato with lemon, cassis, and yuzu flavors. They were delicious. There were always five types of cakes lined up. The baked custard pudding was also good. Perhaps due to the location, there were many elderly and mature customers (only one or two children were there), so it was a calm and sophisticated atmosphere. The taste is also more suited for adults, so it's an adult buffet.

Breakfast at a hotel in Fukuoka, Tenjin. Originally known for its breakfast buffet, but due to the influence of the coronavirus, it has changed to individual servings. Everything has really changed. Today in Fukuoka, Tenjin, I had breakfast at the Ark Hotel Royal Fukuoka Tenjin. After a night of drinking too much in Fukuoka, the next morning is usually spent in a strong hangover state. To wake up, I enjoy warm miso soup. A favorite Fukuoka breakfast is rice topped with mentaiko and poured with miso soup. Normally, I wouldn't take much more than this at a buffet, but this time, with individual servings, the food is nicely balanced. The menu today includes fried eggs, rolled omelette, kinpira gobou, sausages, croquettes, and perhaps blowfish. There's also my favorite mentaiko. The meal is a mix of Japanese and Western dishes, with salad and dessert included. It's beautifully and deliciously presented. Personally, it's a bit too much for me in terms of quantity. But the conclusion is rice with mentaiko and miso soup. I like to eat natto wrapped in seaweed with rice as well, but I won't be getting a rice refill this time. Sorry for leaving some of the delicious breakfast uneaten. Despite being served individually, the breakfast retained the deliciousness of a buffet. It was a very tasty breakfast!

The second breakfast buffet of the week was delicious, especially the grilled saikyo-style sea bream. I always make sure to enjoy the motsunabe and spicy cod roe every time I visit! It's always delicious whenever I come here! Thank you to the staff for the pleasant greetings every morning!

I had breakfast. The motsunabe was delicious in the morning♪ The combination of mentaiko and warm rice was also excellent! It was nice that all the staff greeted me with a pleasant morning.

The drinks were all-you-can-drink, but everyone was very considerate at the party. The price includes various things, and there is also a venue fee. The venue seemed easy to use.
