"Again one of the good hotel finds of 2024 for me - convenient location within the Kokura station itself that allows easy access to both Shinkansen and local trains, delectable array of breakfast items and rather large room with a stunning view of the Kitakyushu Monorail. Highly recommend!"

"Huge rooms with beautiful views and an onsite Japanese garden super close to the monorail station connecting to the JR Kokura train station and other destinations. The hotel was a bit dated but clean. The retro feel of the rooms may be a selling point to those who like that however."
