[2025 Fukuoka Hotels] Travel Guide for Cross Life Hakata Yanagibashi (Updated Jul)

Hello, this is Namububu:) This summer vacation, Fukuoka🫧 I originally booked all the domestic pool villa accommodations to rest quietly, but I suddenly cancelled all the accommodations with less than a month left because I still had energy and wanted to go on a walking trip again. The accommodation I suddenly found out about was 'Cross Life Hakata Yanagibashi'. I stayed at this accommodation with great satisfaction without any inconveniences, so I thought it might be helpful to those who are looking for accommodations in Fukuoka, so I'm going to organize it. 🔸There are two Cross Life branches in Fukuoka! If you're thinking of 'Cross Life' as your accommodation in Fukuoka, there's one thing you really need to be careful about. That's to check which branch it is before making a reservation. ✔️Cross Life Hakata Tenjin ▫️Located near Tenjin Minami Station ▫️With a large public bath ✔️Cross Life Hakata Yanagibashi ▫️Located near Watanabedori Station ▫️No large public bath We looked for accommodations in a hurry, so we thought we had booked the Hakata Tenjin branch, which was closer to the city, but in reality, we had booked the Yanagibashi branch, which was about 10 minutes away. ㅎㅎ It was really a 20-minute walk to everywhere, so we spent a lot of money on transportation that we hadn't thought about. Hehe, please check it out!! 🔸Cross Life Amenities There are products that you can freely take from the lobby and products that you can receive upon request! ✔️Provided in the lobby: Comb / Toothbrush / Cotton pads / Razor ▫️My hair got tangled more than I thought while traveling in Japan, so I used the comb in the lobby very usefully. It is compact and perfect for carrying around in a bag, so I highly recommend it to women. ▫️There is a toothbrush, but no toothpaste. Make sure to bring your own! ✔️Request separately: Curling iron (Pan-go-de-gi + Roll-go-de-gi) The best part about staying at this hotel is that you can rent a curling iron❤️ Since I haven't had a perm since using Dyson, I was worried that it would take a long time to style my hair with just a regular dryer, and above all, I have bad hands. Curling irons or Dysons that are made for our country's voltage won't work even if you try to use them with an adapter, and if you're unlucky, they may even break down. However, when I told the staff in the lobby that I needed a curling iron, they gave me a very attractive friend that was a combination of a pan-go-de-gi and a roll-go-de-gi! Just in case you're worried about your hair styling like me, here's something I really wanted to tell you👍 You don't have to return it when you check out, just leave it in your room and come out :) 🔸Crosslife check-in/check-out It's all self-service. There are two monitors, so when there are a lot of people, there's a line, but fortunately, the process isn't complicated, so it moves quickly. You can also request additional breakfast when you check in! ▫️Price: 1,650 yen per person 🔸Crosslife city tax Most accommodations in Fukuoka have a city tax, but surprisingly, there was no city tax here. It was nice not having to pay extra🫶🏼 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We stayed in a comfort double room/a room with a queen-size bed for a total of 3 nights, and it cost about 480,000 won without the city tax! The space was wider than I thought and the ceiling was high, so I stayed comfortably without feeling stuffy :) There were two outlets that could be used for 220v inside the room, so it was great for charging multiple devices at once with the converter. The room condition and the staff service were also great, so I don't regret it, but if I go next time, I think I'll book Cross Life Hakata Tenjin as much as possible.... Have a happy trip everyone💕 #Fukuoka #FukuokaAccommodation #Cross Life Hakata Tenjin ##Cross Life Hakata Yanagibashi

## **【Fukuoka Food Notes】Walking in the city, a tour of century-old shops** Let the photos speak for themselves, I drool when I look back 😋 Fukuoka is truly a foodie paradise! Jianhu, a long-standing tsukemen shop, serves rich fish and pork bone ramen soup with topped noodles. It's worth queuing for half an hour. Then we went to Nishishinchuxi, a century-old restaurant, to taste the sukiyaki, which was so delicious and full of sauce that both tourists and locals were willing to wait. For afternoon tea, I bought freshly baked wheel buns at **"Feng Le Mantou". They were filled with red bean paste and were hot and super satisfying. Go to the stall in the evening and order a mentaiko omelet with a cold beer - the taste of Fukuoka is something you'll want to savour over and over again! 🍜🍡🍢
