JR Kyushu Station Hotel Kokura
Hotel was in a great location, room was small and the lounge was the poorest we have been!in. Free beer and coffee/tea not worth the upgrade to access.

Friendly staff, efficient service, nice hot spring, great breakfast- although the hotel isn’t very new, is a little aging, we still enjoy our stay and it is really value for money.
