Mercure Fukuoka Munakata Resort & Spa, a resort hotel with good access from Hakata and Kokura, overlooking the Sea of Genkai (Museo City, Fukuoka Prefecture / General Manager: Masahiro Yokoi), will start a “Strawberry Zukushi Stay” where hotel staff can enjoy strawberry grown from seedlings at Munakata, a famous strawberry area in Fukuoka Prefecture.

Project background

 

"Munakata Strawberry Farm" opened in January 2025 in Munakata City, known as a strawberry production area in Fukuoka Prefecture.
At our hotel, we purchased seedlings as an owner, and staff participated in farm work such as planting and thinning, and grew strawberries with thought. The strawberry grew, and the harvest began in late December 2025. We started a special project to deliver strawberries grown by ourselves to customers.
In addition, while keeping the taste as it is, we will actively use "non-standard strawberry" as a sauce that does not appear on the market for reasons of appearance, so customers can enjoy strawberries even in sustainable initiatives.
