I'm traveling to Fukuoka to get my visa and extending my stay for the weekend. I was wondering if anyone could recommend hotels to stay in (not hostels) that are nice and affordable.

Also, I know there isn't a whole lot to do, but what are the best things to see/do if you are in the area for a few days.

Thanks!

Shop for sex toys (good quality) and pick up a Jap and stay at their place (free).

No, they don't. The world's second largest ferris wheel is in Taipei. I rode it when I went there for Chusok this past September. Scary, but fun!

In Fukuoka, go to the Seahawk resort for shopping and great food. I paid $35 for an awesome buffet inside Seahawk.

I led this poor Canadian on a wild goose chase trying to find this hostel
I read about.

When we finally found it it was full. It was about a ten minute
walk to the train station area. For about ten more
dollars we got decent hotel rooms about a half block away from the
train station.
