JR Kyushu Station Hotel Kokura
Such a lovely modern hotel. Decent size room with a view over the station which my husband loved. Good comfortable bed and very clean indeed. Staff spoke excellent English and were so helpful. Great location right by the shinkansen and JR station as well as Kokura itself. Would stay again.

We got a big help from Mr Io Choka when we checked in, he is super friendly and helpful since we have quite many luggages and he helped us to deliver our luggages to our room; able to help us to look for nearby restaurants. Our room is big and clean.
