The present Fukuoka Garden Palace (Chiyo, Hakata-ku) is located near the northern edge of what is considered the central region of ancient Nakoku (岴国, Nanokuni). In the surrounding area, Hie Naka Sites Naka Sites Yoshitake Takagi Site Sukuokamoto Site Large settlements and royal tombs of the Yayoi period are concentrated here. In particular, the Naka Ruins are thought to have become influential stronghold settlements on the Fukuoka Plain in the mid-Yayoi period and formed the heart of the Nakoku kingdom. Ancient ruins have also been found in the Chiyo area itself, where the Fukuoka Garden Palace is located, and nearby are Hakozaki-gū Hakata Sites It has been an important location for transportation and ports since ancient times. To simplify the positioning relationship, Hakata Bay │ Chiyo (Fukuoka Garden Palace) │ Hakata │ Hie Site │ Naka Site │ Sukuokamoto ruins (the tomb of the King of the Naku) above the north-south axis.

Interestingly, within walking distance of the Fukuoka Garden Palace, there are many areas that are thought to have been involved in ancient diplomacy and trade, and it is possible that the people of Nakoku 2000 years ago traveled to and from almost the same place.

Staid at the Hotel Fukuoka Garden Palace for business purposes. Nice location, close to Tenjin, where you can find many shops and restaurants. The staff were very nice and caring, and even let me use their refrigerator (I bought some spicy mentaiko). What I was surprised the most was the spacious room that I was given. I have travelled many times to Japan, and usually the hotel rooms are small and cramped (I say this even though I am only 170 cm tall). The size of the room was large enough so that I could leave my two pieces of luggage open on the floor, and still walk around comfortably. The wifi worked fine as well. I would say very good value for the money.

Really good service. The breakfast buffet had traditional food and western food. The western food was very good. The hotel rooms were very nice and quiet. The hotel is also close to the train station. The train station has some really nice places to eat.
