stayed at a nice ryokan in Fukuoka, loved the traditional feel and convenient location near Hakata Station. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the room was comfortable with a nice indoor bathroom.

wifi only in public area

excellent location, family ambience. lots of restaurants to eat close by, like hakata udon taikichi that was only 5 minutes' walk away. rooms were good sized. we liked it.

Wanted to explore Fukuoka and this hotel was lovely base for doing it. We spent 1 night in japanese-style room. Moreover, it had parking on-site.

The staff at Kashima Honkan are helpful and go above and beyond to assist, despite their limited English skills. The breakfast served at the ryokan is delicious and the rooms are spacious. The on-site onsen is a great addition and adds to the overall experience.

Felt safe, no reason to complain.

I appreciate the fact that it is an old building with a rich history. It is good for those who want to stay in a real traditional Ryokan.

It gave a very traditional touch to the holiday.

Comfortable tatami mat rooms with fresh towels and yukata provided daily. Beautiful garden view. Helpful staff and luggage storage available. Would definitely stay again.

It is one of the few places where we could find a room for 3 at a reasonable price. It was a cosy place and the staff were very friendly. Staff could communicate in English and provided good tips on where to find the things we would like to do. Location was good, once we found our orientation, it was no problem to walk to the various subway stations including Hakata station which was about 10 minutes away. Tip: If you are coming from the airport, it is faster and hassle free to travel by taxi to the ryokan. The transport cost is marginally higher for our party of 3.

Minor issue, you need to lug your baggage up the stairs, there are no lifts. The spa facility is functional only. Given the choices of onsen outside, this should not be a major issue for onsen lovers.

Locality is good - less than 5 min from Gion subway station & a short 10 min walk to Canal City Hakata shopping mall. Unique experience of sleeping on tatami mat in a spacious room for 3 people. Has hot spring bath (for women and men separately) for those interested in hot spring.

Insufficient toilets - only 1 central toilet bowl & 2 showers for the entire Ryokan usage. The toilet is very small and squeezy, there is no place to hang your clothes/toiletries. Of the 2 showers, only 1 has a shower head. You have to bathe by pail in the other shower room. There should be more toilets and shower rooms with proper shower heads.

Friendly staff, good location, traditional atmosphere, proximity to attractions, comfortable shared bathroom, superb breakfast.

Nothing could have been better.

The room was really big, according Japanese standard. Staff was helpful. One of the best place to stay in Fukuoka, close to Hakata Station. Good stop over/getaway to Kyushu and its beautiful landscapes.

I like the traditional Japanese style building. I enjoyed the breakfast in the beautiful dining room. The location is convient for getting to the Hakata station. All in all, I like it very much.

The location of this ryokan was great - in a quiet neighborhood not far from Gion subway station. The hotel facilities were impressive, with spacious rooms and a hot spring bath. I also appreciated the on-site parking and the friendly staff who spoke English.

Not one thing.

Traditinal Janpanese style. good service. Nice Breakfast

The staff was most helpful and courteous.

Older style and public shower and separate bathrooms.
