Experience Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival while staying in the hotel
Opened in 2020 Hotel Torifito Hakata Gion is a concept hotel that combines the designs of Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival to make you feel like you’re in the midst of the summer festivity in Hakata. It is located exactly on the route where the festival’s climax event Oiyama runs through. From the rooms on the east side, you can see dynamic floats running in front of you.

Thoughts on Hakata Old Town
There are many decorations of local crafts such as Hakata Chochin Lantern, Hakata-ori Textile and Hakata Mizuhiki (decorative cord) in the hotel. It also offers concept rooms themed around the Yamakasa Festival and Hakata Magemono Wooden Products. The photos of festival men making you feel more immersed, interior decorations using Yamakasa’s carrying pole and Magemono Wooden Products ― these items give the rooms distinct image of Hakata. “We hope our hotel will be an opportunity for visitors from outside Fukuoka and the overseas to know about our culture and then to explore the Hakata Old Town” says Kodama, hotel staff. Stay at Hotel Torifito Hakata Gion to experience their unique hospitality.
