Are these mysterious looking spaceships!? A newly re-opend area "Hikaritokazenohiroba" (lit.: Light and Wind Square) inside the Uminonakamichi Seaside Park (Higashi-ku, Fukuoka City) reminds us of an extraordinary scene of a science fiction movie!
This place is called "INN THE PARK FUKUOKA" and it offers you a unique opportunity to stay in a national park! There are a total of 30 rooms of 4 different types of accommodation to choose from: - 6 meter high spherical dome-shaped tents - glamping tents for an easy, enjoyable camping experience- villa like accommodation that is overlooking Hakata Bay - and Suite rooms are also available. Guests are able to stay for the first time in the sought after location Uminonakamichi Seaside Park at night. In this article, we introduce the INN THE PARK Fukuoka as a new hot spot that will surely excite all guests in a fantasy like space that is real. Don't miss the wide range of activities offered in the park as well!

The spherical dome shaped tent with wooden floors, is as high as a two story building. You can enjoy your stay in two comfortable beds here. At night, the light that illuminates the tent emerges around Kamoike pond, creating a spectacular sight!

This type of accommodation can accommodate up to 8 people and is ideal for large groups. When you step outside of the tent you will find a living room with a BBQ grill and an outside dining room. When you book this room you have the option to include BBQ meals!

This cabin can accommodate one or two persons. The room may be small but with the great view of the sea approaching right in front of your door step it feels much more spacious and open!

The Suite room comes with a spacious living room, Japanese style tatami room, an outdoor terrace overlooking Hakata Bay and a bathroom with a bath tub. If you book two rooms at the same time, you can spend time with a large group of people.

During the day it operates as a cafe and at night you can enjoy French cuisine in this restaurant, ingredients sourced from local farmers. You can come and enjoy the food without having to book accommodation here. The concept is called "local gastronomy“ which aims to serve authentic local cuisine trying to express the local surroundings and culture with food!

There is a spacious separate bath building located just near the coast of Hakata Bay. The stylish design of the building is based on Japanese "sento (public bath)"! The bath area will be open to non-guests on an irregular basis.
