lyf Tenjin Fukuoka
Every is good only there isn’t drinking water available at the room floor. Every night we have to go down to the pantry to get water refill which is inconvenient.

Beautiful property and modern look. Parking was a little too expensive (¥2500+400), and it took forever to fill up the bathtub, otherwise it was great!
