One of the main aims of "THE LIVELY FUKUOKA" hotel is to create "a place that brings together opportunities, information and people from all over the world." The accommodation facility has opened in a really convenient location. It is a one to two minute walk from Nakasu-kawabata Station (Fukuoka City Subway), which offers great access to Tenjin and Hakata (two of the most popular shopping / downtown areas in Fukuoka City). The renovated interior of the 50-year-old building looks great on camera!

The lobby bar is located in the center of the building. The calm, understated lighting helps make the "THE LIVELY BAR" a chilled, comfortable place to hang out. They also offer a selection of unique cocktails such as "YAMECHA-WARI." As the name suggests, green tea from Yame (Fukuoka Pref.) is one of the key ingredients in this alcoholic beverage! They also serve "BUTTERED SWEET POTATO," which is made with Imo-shōchū (distilled liquor brewed using sweet potato). The bar also hosts music events almost every weekend. Local DJs regular play sets. Make sure to check them out! It's a relaxed, easy going bar. The atmosphere will definitely make you feel like stopping by when you next have the chance.

Here is their unique "GREEN CURRY MOJITO" cocktail. The taste was surprising but tasty!

The hotel "THE LIVELY" offers four types of guest room: Standard Double / Queen, Superior Twin, and THE LIVELY Loft. But that is not all... on the third floor there is a high tech capsule hotel called "The Millennials," which is equipped with the latest IoT devices. This unique multi-purpose accommodation facility offers all kinds of services that require very little interaction with staff, all at a very reasonable price! So there is no need to worry if you are in the area and have missed the last train!! The communal areas (the bar, restaurant, and shared workspace*) can be used by all guests irrespective of what part of the hotel your staying in. There is no need to stress... Just choose the room that best serves your needs. *Visitors at the hotel can use the communal workspace for 24 hours at no extra charge (the service is only available to hotel guests).
