This fall, the cafe is adding new fall themed flavors to the menu, using seasonal fruits, for limited time.

At Hotel JAL City Fukuoka Tenjin, which had its grand-opening this past March, there is an all-day dining space on the main floor that is open to not only their patrons but also to the general public.
