Top 5 Onsen Resorts in Fukuoka, Kyushu-Okinawa
Fukuoka is a gourmet paradise... "providing you're not vegetarian," say travelers on our Fukuoka forum! It's right on Genkai Sea, and the seafood is fresh and abundant. So is Fukuoka-style ramen, which you can find at the city's famous yatai (outdoor stalls) as well as modern restaurants. Walk off your meal at Ohori Park and the nearby Fukuoka Castle ruins.

I really liked this place and is a nice option to have right in the city. I observed Japanese families with children, not too many foreign tourists, and it was not overly crowded. The atmosphere is casual and relaxing and I also enjoyed the restaurant after my bath. I also went to Tenjin Yunohana (another onsen in the city) and the answer to "Which one is better" is just a matter of personal preference. Both are good. One thing that confused me during my first visit (I went more than once) was the slightly different process they use compared to most other places that I've been to. There are no ticket machines and you don't pay anything upfront. After entering the main door, removing your shoes at the genkan, and putting them in a shoe locker, you take your shoe locker key to the front desk and tell them what you want — bath, towel set, etc. They will take your shoe locker key and exchange it for a numbered bracelet. What's this for? This becomes your "account number" for your visit. Everything you do in the facility (other than maybe using a vending machine) gets charged to this “account”. This includes going to the restaurant. When you are finally ready to leave, you return it to the front desk, pay for everything, and they give you back your shoe locker key. As for cost, price is now ¥900 for bath and ¥250 if you need a towel set. I did not use other services so I can't comment on those.

Noticed this onsen on Google Maps and decided to pay a visit with my wife (though we bathed separately). Even at 11pm on a weekday evening, the place was very crowded, with many families there. Needed a bit of help to buy a ticket, but the staff was friendly and helpful. There are both indoor and outdoor pools, and both are excellent. The changing and shower facilities are clean, despite the heavy traffic. Will visit again the next time I go to Fukuoka!
