I rented a bicycleI reserved a time in advance on LINE and waited on the first floor of the building.I received advice on bicycle sightseeing in Itoshima, and I was given a detailed map with slopes etc.By posting on Instagram, you can receive a 500 yen discount.The cross bike was very easy to drive, and I was able to ride it smoothly while looking past people who were pedaling other rented electric bikes with small wheels, so it was very comfortable.It took about 5 hours, including a round trip to Futamigaura, meals and sightseeing at Sakurai Shrine, and a distance of about 28 km.I was tired but it was fun

Stopped by to rent a bike!The owner spoke English quite well, so surprisingly there was no problem with communication.He gave me a lot of useful tips on how to ride a bicycle in Itoshima, and it was nice that he also gave me a map as a gift.Please note that if you tag and post it on Instagram, you will receive a 500 yen discount!+) They recommend a small amount of money as bicycle insurance on site, but it seems better to pay it if possible. Not long!

The building doesn't have an elevator, so you have to go up the stairs, but the inside was a very stylish, calming Japanese-style room with plasterwork.The owner was very kind and there were plenty of cups and cooking utensils.

Thank you for staying with us for 2 nights. The owner and his wife were very nice people and kindly taught me a lot of things, which was very helpful. The walls of the room were made of hemp charcoal plaster, making it very comfortable. Although the building is not new, the rooms are all clean and comfortable. The tableware and other supplies were all carefully made and looked great. Although I was traveling with my elderly mother, I had a really good time as I felt like I was at home. thank you very much. Thank you for letting us have a wonderful time!

Thank you for staying with me for one night. It was a wonderful stay for just one night.If you're alone, it's perfect for multiple nights or a workday. It was a space where you could feel like you were living there.Excellent access from Chikuzen-Maebaru Station along the road. Cross the traffic light in front of the station and go up the stairs of the building to the top.The host, Nogi, was waiting for us when we arrived and showed us around the room.It has a living room, a guest room, and a private room (work room with desk), so it seems like it would be good for multiple people staying.Each of the provided amenities had a pop of "MADE IN" on them (especially those from Itoshima and Fukuoka), and it was fun to use them.The living room can also be used for cooking. It is equipped with beautiful ceramic tableware made by Itoshima artists. Convenience store food when you get back to your room during a trip tends to be bland, but since you can eat on a ceramic plate in your room, it's quite nice to drink just one glass of water.What impressed me most was the hemp charcoal plaster on the walls of the room. When I arrived, I was told, ``You can breathe deeply,'' and I thought that I could certainly breathe deeply, but to my surprise, I was able to fall into a very deep sleep. I don't sleep well and always wake up both when traveling and at home, but I slept soundly until morning.My host, Mr. Nogi, who attended to me, told me about recommended places in Itoshima and people I should meet, so I had a very fulfilling stay.This time, I used it as a base for reporting in Itoshima, but it takes 35 minutes from Chikuzen-Maebaru Station to Tenjin Station, 45 minutes to Hakata, and 50 minutes to Fukuoka Airport, with the first train at 5:00 and the last train at 11:00. There are even tables, so even those who work in the center of Fukuoka city can use it as a lodging base.I would like to use this place for a leisurely workday with a friend next time.Thank you very much.
