The Ritz-Carlton, Fukuoka | Zen & Zip in Perfect Balance 🏯✨

Fukuoka never stops evolving 🌿 While the rest of Japan wrestles with population decline, this city dares to steal talent straight from Tokyo—proof that its charm is real and magnetic 🌸💼 I’m head-over-heels for it: think Chengdu vibes transported to Kyushu—romantic lanes, gorgeous food, stylish people, all moving to an unhurried yet electric beat 🍜👗 🎶 Last year’s brand-new Ritz-Carlton fits the mood exactly—my third RC in Japan after Nikko & Niseko, and every bit as dreamy. 🛫 Because the airport sits inside city limits, height limits kept skylines low for decades… until the rules shifted. 🌊Cue the Ritz swooping in to claim Fukuoka’s new peak 🏙️ 🔝 Even the infinity pool now owns the best horizon in town—sunset laps with 270° bay views? Yes, please 🌅🏊‍♂️ 🌊Service is pure Japanese precision layered with RC’s signature warmth—faultless from check-in to turndown 🌟 Since the hotel hasn’t even celebrated its first birthday yet, everything still sparkles: linens crisp, tech flawless, scent heavenly 🌺 Platinum magic moment ✨ Thanks to my AE Marriott Platinum status, off-season scored me a complimentary upgrade to a Hakata Bay-view room. Next morning the curtains rose like a theater reveal: cobalt bay on the left, expressways humming below on the right—a living split-screen of calm and kinetic energy 🌊🛣️ JARIAY TOKYO®️ PRESENT 🌊 #HotelRecs #RitzCarlton #Fukuoka
