| Hilton Fukuoka's Fitness Center |
As I mentioned in a previous entry, my husband and I traveled to Japan last year and had the pleasure of staying at three different hotels during our visit to Fukuoka: Hotel Front Inn Fukuoka Airport, ANA Crowne Plaza Fukuoka, and Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk. Actually, this was our second stay at the Hilton Fukuoka. We also stayed here two years ago and had a great time.
Guests staying at Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk have complimentary access to the gym area of the fitness center, which is open 24 hours a day. Use of the pool area, however, comes with an additional fee of 2,200 yen.

After breakfast, we arrived at the fitness center around 8:30 a.m. Near the entrance stood a vending machine filled with drinks.

There were two water dispensers—handy reminders to stay hydrated before and after a workout.
There was a blood pressure monitor and a scale in the gym. It was a nice surprise since most fitness centers in the U.S. don’t usually offer health-check devices like these.
We got to the gym area at 8:30 a.m. It was empty, which surprised us. In hotels like the Hilton, Western tourists often use the gym early in the morning. But Fukuoka is popular with Asian tourists, and we saw fewer Western visitors. That may be why the gym was quiet and felt like our private space.
According to the Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk website, the fitness center features around 20 types of training machines, including the latest models from PRECOR, along with a full set of dumbbells.
I chose the cross trainer for my workout, which lets me train both legs and upper body at the same time. It’s my go-to machine whenever I visit a hotel gym, and I was glad to find that Hilton Fukuoka had a relatively new model. It was smooth, quiet, and gave me a satisfying aerobic session.
The gym at Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk was clean, quiet, and easy to use. I liked how peaceful it felt in the morning, and the equipment was in good condition. I enjoyed my workout and would be happy to use this gym again during a future stay.
The Rock Bath, Public Bath (7th Floor)
The rock bath is located on the 7th floor. Usually, hotel guests need to pay 1,760 yen to use it. However, guests staying on the 6th or 7th floors can use it for free. We stayed in a suite room, and during check-in, we received a complimentary voucher, so we didn’t have to pay. It’s not mentioned on the official website, but it seems that guests in executive and suite rooms also get free access.
Public Bath Hours
7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
3:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.

I went to the public bath around 9 p.m., and it wasn’t too crowded—which was nice. I was able to relax and enjoy the bath. Two years ago, the bath was packed with large tour groups, mostly visiting from other parts of Asia, so this time felt much quieter and more peaceful. My husband said the men’s bath was completely empty, and he could truly unwind.
There was a sauna too, and I gave it a try—but it was way too hot for me. I couldn’t even last a full minute! Saunas have become really popular in Japan lately, but I still don’t quite get the appeal. What makes people enjoy sitting in such intense heat? Some say it’s the health perks: improved circulation, stress relief, better skin, and even heart health. It’s like a wellness ritual for some people—but for me, the heat was just overwhelming.
Overall
I really enjoyed working out at the fitness gym—it was well-equipped and comfortable. Moving my body and breaking a light sweat felt great. I also liked the fact that soaking in the quiet public bath was the perfect way to unwind. It left me feeling refreshed and clear-headed. If I get the chance to stay at Hilton Fukuoka again, I’ll definitely visit both the fitness gym and the public bath.
