Guys, looking for cheap places to sleep in Fukuoka. I'll need to get out to Hakata during the day.

anyone got any other tips on possible places to stay that are cheap?

THanks guys.

one more follow up.

Are Japan Hotel prices on a per room, or per person basis?

Don't get a hotel, it's a waste. Get somebody you know in Fukuoka or Hakata to lend you some sleeping space. Offer them some money.

Yeah, or go to a hostel. There are a few there when I visited and seemed clean. If you insist on a hotel, go all out and stay at the Daiei Hawks hotel. Wow, what a place!

If your business there can be done in the course of a single day, you might look into the availability of overnight bus service.

The way it works is:

Leave late in the evening, travel overnight, arrive very early (6-7) the next morning.
Freshen up, do your business that day, catch the bus back that night, arrive home early the following morning. Go to work.

It's an economical way to get to a distant city, spend a full day taking care of business, and only miss a single day from your normal routine. The fares aren't that bad, and you save on hotel costs by sleeping on the bus.

The big problem with this, of course, is sleeping on the bus.

Here's one night bus running the Tokyo-Hakata route:

The arrival is a little later than I thought it would be, but then, Hakata is quite a way from Tokyo.

I can ask my girlfriend about some possible cheap hotels. I kinda doubt she knows of any though. But hey, it's worth a shot.

Yeah the hostels aren't bad, much cheaper then hotels.
