Cheap lodging may be the preference for many travelers when journeying abroad, but the accommodation itself often leaves a large mark on memories of the trip. So as long as it isn't imperative to stick to a super tight budget, it's a good idea to pick a unique, memorable place to stay, even if it requires a little splurging.

Those preparing for a trip to Japan's Kyushu region are lucky to be able to do just that, because newly open since May 17th is the Expected Inn, a Harry Potter-themed Airbnb that will transport you to the magical school of wizards and witches. Anyone who stays here will get the chance to enjoy not just the many wonders of Fukuoka Prefecture, but also a marvelous trip into a world inspired by Hogwarts.

The lodging is a 3-floor inn complete with 8 semi-double beds, which can easily accommodate a maximum total of 16 people. With 2 showers, 3 bathrooms, as well as a living-dining kitchen, it's the ideal place to stay for friends, families, and even couples looking for a spacious temporary home to return to during their vacation.

Needless to say, the most exciting aspect of the Expected Inn is its interior design. The homey, somehow nostalgic decor conjures images of none other than the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and guests will be greeted with old paintings, chandeliers, an even an owl hanging out in its birdcage.

This magical Airbnb is located just 10 minutes from Hakata Station. As the name suggests, it guarantees to surpass the expectations of every traveler that sets foot inside. More detailed information can be seen on the lodging's listing on Airbnb.
