14 Best Fukuoka Hotels with Onsen

by Primrose

Decked with sandy beaches, historic temples, and scenic beauty, Fukuoka blooms like the camellias. Most visitors though, come to this beautiful city for its rich hot springs. Fortunately, there are plenty of hotels that have traditional onsen facilities to ease your weariness from travel. We did some research and found the best Fukuoka hotels with onsen. But before we dive into each hotel, here are some quick recommendations.


Best Ryokan with Private Onsens

  • Nansuikaku – All their Twin Rooms have private onsens in a terrace setting. It’s a very complete setup so you may not even use their shared onsen facilities. They also have larger and more luxurious onsens for hire designed for groups.
  • Futsukaichi Hot Spring – Both their Standard and Economy Rooms have private onsens. Some have windows so you can enjoy the green scenery outside.

Fukuoka Onsen Hotels for Famillies

  • Super Hotel Lohas Hakataeki – The Connecting Family Rooms include a private bathroom, and there are special rates for children under seven years old. If there are only three in your group, their Double Rooms with Bunk Bed will be enough. 
  • Natural Hot Spring Yaoji Hakata Hotel – The spacious Family Room includes a communal tatami area. The room features two single beds and four futons, If for some reason there are more people in your family, it’s best to get a separate room. Cots and extra beds are not available.

Fukuoka Onsen Hotels Near Hakata Station

These hotels are all within a 10-minute walk from Hakata JR Station. But if you really don’t want to walk much, Miyako Hotel Hakata and Nishitetsu Hotel Croom Hakata are the closest options.


Most Affordable Fukuoka Onsen Hotels

  • Hotel WBF Grande Hakata – Set in the heart of Fukuoka, Hotel WBF Grande Hakata is a good budget-friendly option. The Standard Double Rooms are good value, and they may be as low as $60 USD in some months. The hotel has a good central location too.
  • Super Hotel Lohas Hakataeki – Another affordable choice in the heart of the city. The Standard Double Rooms are about $95 USD per night, even during the peak cherry blossom season.

Hotel Suites with Private Hot Tubs

While hot tubs aren’t exactly the same as onsen, they do offer a similar experience. The following two hotels are the only properties that have suites with genuine private hot tubs. However, they are quite pricey!

  • Garden Terrace Fukuoka – All the suites here have private hot tubs. Some even have hot tubs on the balcony so you can enjoy the views. It’s probably better than an onsen experience, particularly in the Executive Suites.
  • Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk – You’ll find private hot tubs in the Panoramic Suites with stunning views of the sea. There are also jetted bathtubs in the Executive King Suites which are a bit cheaper.

1. Miyako Hotel Hakata

Miyako Hotel Hakata is directly connected to Hakata Station. Rooms are very clean, most with natural lighting from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

You’ll also find a footbath and poolside drinks, while the glass-walled indoor bath also has a natural hot spring and sauna. On the 13th floor, dine at the hotel’s Restaurant & Bar, which is dimly lit for romantic occasions.
