Top hotels in Sawara Ward
Fukuoka Prince Hotel Momochihama
"The property was very beautiful and well maintained. The restaurant on the 4th floor had beautiful views but the selection of food was very limited. I didn’t like that my ocean view room had a view of another building and a small part of ocean view to the side. Also an airport shuttle would be great. ..."
