lyf Tenjin Fukuoka is a coliving and coworking hotel in Imaizumi, Chuo Ward, a short walk from the heart of Tenjin. It is operated by The Ascott Limited as part of their lyf brand, which positions itself as a social lifestyle hotel rather than a standard serviced apartment. The property sits on the third floor of a building at 1-2-13 Imaizumi, with Nishitetsu-Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station a 6-minute walk away and Tenjin subway station about 10 minutes on foot.

Every shared space has a name that signals its purpose. The CONNECT coworking lounge includes open-plan seating and dedicated work pods for focused sessions. The BOND social kitchen is a fully equipped shared kitchen for cooking. BURN is a 24-hour gym. WASH & HANG is the coin-operated launderette. REFUEL is the on-site cafe and bar. Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Coworking access is included for guests staying in-room.

Room types run from a 12 sqm studio double to a 22 sqm accessible studio, all with private bathrooms. The corner twin (Side by Side Plus) includes a balcony. Extended-stay pricing kicks in above 3 consecutive nights. Monthly stays are available. Specific room pricing is not shown on the website during standard browsing and requires a booking query.

The on-site cafe-bar (REFUEL) serves breakfast for an additional charge and operates as a bar in the evenings. Dietary options are not confirmed anywhere in the available source data.

The property is operated by The Ascott Limited, a Singapore-based hospitality group, and carries GSTC sustainability certification. With 4.1 stars across 399 Google reviews, the most frequently mentioned theme in place topics is design (167 mentions), followed by the lobby and common areas. Work-specific signals do not appear prominently in the review topic data. The property suits nomads who want a central Fukuoka base with structured social spaces and coworking included in their stay, rather than a dedicated co-working focus.

About Imaizumi

Imaizumi is a compact neighbourhood in Chuo Ward, tucked between Tenjin to the north and Yakuin to the south. It has a dense mix of independent cafes, galleries, and small restaurants along Tenjin Nishi-dori, giving it a creative, low-key feel distinct from Tenjin's main shopping streets. Nishitetsu-Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station is a 6-minute walk away, and Tenjin-minami Station (Nanakuma line) is a 5-minute walk, making the area easy to reach and well-connected for day trips across Fukuoka.
