Review : Hilton Fukuoka Fitness Center and Public Bath

 

         As I mentioned in my previous entries, in the winter of 2022, my husband and I visited Japan and stayed at Sunshine City Prince Hotel, Conrad Tokyo, Hilton Tokyo and Hilton Fukuoka. While staying at Hilton Fukuoka, we went to its fitness center before having breakfast.


        If you are staying in Hilton Fukuoka, you can access to the fitness center gym area for free, but its pool area was 2,200 yen.   


Fitness Center Hours

Gym Area : 24 Hours



Fitness Center (5th Floor)

Hilton Fukuoka Gym Area Entrance
        We arrived at the Hilton Fukuoka gym area entrance at 6:30 a.m. There was the vending machine near the entrance.
        There were a blood pressure monitor and scale in the gym area.


       There were two water dispensers. It's important to drink water before and after workout.


      There were hand sanitizer sprays and wipes available.


       We arrived at the gym area at 6:30 and found it empty!  In foreign-owned hotels like Hilton hotels, the morning gym is often crowded with foreign guests, as they tend to be popular among travelers from overseas. However, during the winter of 2022, perhaps due to the ongoing pandemic, there were significantly fewer Western tourists, and the gym was practically empty, allowing for exclusive use.


     According to Hilton Fukuoka website, there are approximately 20 types of training machines, including the latest models from PRECOR, as well as dumbbells.


       I did aerobic exercise on a cross trainer, which allows me to work out both my legs and upper body simultaneously. Whenever I visit a hotel gym, I always use the cross trainer. I was very satisfied with the relatively new cross trainer.

     Among Hilton-affiliated hotels, the fitness gyms at Conrad Osaka and Conrad Las Vegas are places I’d love to visit again. However, the Hilton Fukuoka has also become one of my favorite gyms due to its peaceful and modern facilities.




The Rock Bath, Public Bath (7th Floor)

       The rock bath (public bath) is located on the 7th floor. Normally, even hotel guests are charged 1,760 yen for admission. However, guests staying on the 6th and 7th floors can use it for free. We stayed on the 33rd floor, and during check-in, we received a complimentary voucher for the rock bath, so there was no payment required. Although it’s not mentioned on the official website, it seems that guests staying on the 30th floor or higher also have complimentary access.


Public Bath Hours 

7 a.m. through 10 a.m.

3 p.m. through 12 a.m.


     I went to the public bath at night, and I was surprised that it was incredibly crowded with Asian tourists. While I always look forward to Japanese baths when I visit Japan, this level of congestion was disappointing. Considering how busy it was, I thought it might be better to avoid using it next time unless I plan my visit carefully. I guess that morning and afternoon hours tend to be less crowded compared to nighttime. If you’re looking for a quieter experience, consider using the public bath during those times.

 

 

      Next time, I will write about breakfast buffet at Hilton Fukuoka.
