Hotels near Shirasu Lighthouse, Kita Kyushu

The booking showed two beds, but it was actually one 90cm bed with an additional pull-out bed underneath, which was great for pushing together to make more space. My 28-inch suitcase had to be opened in the hallway by the door. The bathroom was excellent, with a shower and a large bathtub, which was a huge plus.

We stayed at the hotel for the first time and booked a sea-view room. The room initially assigned to us faced the sea, but due to a large building platform blocking the view, we were completely unable to see the ocean. Therefore, we returned to the lobby to request a room change. Our service was provided by a young lobby staff member, Mr. Io Choka, who was extremely courteous and professional. After checking the availability, he informed us that another room could not be prepared immediately, and he promptly contacted his supervisor. Following their communication, the hotel prepared another sea-view room for us within approximately 15 minutes. During the waiting period, he updated us on the progress every 5 minutes. Both my husband is and I felt his professionalism and attentiveness to our needs. Afterwards, Mr. Io Choka also carefully assisted us by carrying our luggage to the new room and ensured that we were satisfied before leaving.We sincerely appreciate Mr. Io Choka and his supervisor for arranging such a wonderful room for us. Staff like him make guests feel truly secure and comfortable, which is indeed rare. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude once again to Mr. Io Choka and his supervisor for their outstanding service. Besides, the room are excellent and many travellers stay in the hotel restaurant to enjoy the dinner. I guess the food there must be good. I am forward to returning again. 私たちは香港出身です。

Reception at 4 pm was slow and it was necessary for several guests to wait for the two reception people even though they had three other people greeting guests. The nearby Shinkansen station provides easy access to the hotel which is an easy 5-10 minutes walk. Wifi worked well and the air conditioning was good especially in the cold weather. Rooms are a good size and in good condition with above average views. House keeping was also good, though guests need to request daily services by placing a card on the room door otherwise daily service is not provided. The four lifts provided an efficient service. I didn’t have breakfast on this occasion but have had it in the past and it’s of a good quality and high standard. The staff are lovely and caring. The location is good being near the main Shinkansen station. Beyond the station there are shopping centres and street malls with a variety of restaurants and shops to meet most people’s needs. There are also many nearby restaurants that should suit most people’s cuisine, budget and type of food. Buses and subway stations are nearby and provide access to various parts of the city. There are several attractions within 30-60 minutes of the hotel such as temples and museums. Overall a pleasant stay and happy to visit again.

Perfect if you have an early flight in the morning. The hotel is just 5-8 min walking from the airport. The staff was very polite and really helfull, they speak japanese, english and korean. For breakfast you get different options of rice; bread, fish, etc. If you don't want to eat in the dinning area, you can bring the food to your room. Also, you can always walk to the airport and get food and drinks at the convenience store. Keep in mind there is nothing besides the airport and the hotel, so don't expect much. This is perfect to rest before or after a flight.

Location is walkable from the JR station, surrounding malls and tourist spots, while not being in the centre of it all, making it a quiet and comfortable stay. There are many buses nearby so taking the bus instead of train was a good option to have. Walking distance can also be reduced sometimes via taking the bus. At the same time, the airport bus is at the JR station, so it was very convenient. The hotel while a little dated, is well maintained with floors segregated by non-smoking and smoking. Luggage deposit before and after is also available and the staff are very helpful with that. The bedside console comes with an alarm clock and even a music player where ambience music can be played - it is a very nice touch to have!!

This hotel locates near by the Kokura train station makes it one of the most convenient hotel I have ever lived. Unfortunately I could only reserve a smoking room, but the smell was not too strong to clear out by some splash. I would suggest the manager to inform smoking customers not to smoke in the bathroom, in order to avoid the smoke on the shower curtain. And the services are pretty good provided by kind stuff with multiple language skills. There is even a snack and drink corner 24 hours on first floor. The only deficit of this hotel might be the sound proof of the top floor, 6th floor I lived. The sound could not penetrate through rooms, but there were multiple huge machines on the top of the room running through day and night and generated big noises. During the last night I lived, one of the noises was similar with the sound of unlocking the door, so I couldn' t sleep well because I felt like somebody was unlocking the door.

Fukuoka was too expensive for a weekend trip, so we booked in Kokura instead. It's a self-service apartment. Pre-registering online definitely saved a lot of time during check-in. The room wasn't particularly clean. Maybe it's not having white walls, but the interior colors felt a bit depressing. There were water stains on the coffee table. It was fine for a layover stay, I guess. Overall, the price was the main selling point.

The hotel appeared exactly as described. No major surprises. Contactless check-in process so ensure that you have filled out the information of all the visitors beforehand via the link procidws. They will verify each guest individually when you physically check-in. English speaking customer service is available. Do note that there is no separate dryer. Washing machine comes with a drying function but does not dry the clothes completely. Major attractions are a walking distance away. Paid parking available away from accommodation. Costs 300 to 400yen for overnight parking. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

The room is very spacious and within walking distance to delicious grilled curry. However, I could not enter the hotel without receiving an email when checking in. It is recommended that travelers who plan to check in must confirm the password again and again. The password of the trip.com reminder check-in email is incorrect

Though location is a little far but the free shuttle bus to and fro Orio station made is super convenient for an onsen retreat. There's a direct bus from Kitakyushu Airport to Orio station too, which makes it even better. Thankfully, the staff kindly took note of the shuttle reservation request made during booking, otherwise, it would have been very inconvenient to contact them and expensive to get to the resort by other means. They left a note to check the official website for pick-up point but there was no specific information - something that can be improved. The location was found to be BEHIND Maxvalue Shop (see first few photos). The resort is visited by mainly locals so it was helpful to see and ask them for confirmation. Facilities might a bit old but generally clean so it was okay. The room is nice and comfortable, particularly the view. It was very nice to see the hotel using reusable wares with even a refillable jug to get water from a machine at the shared space. Both sides of the natural onsen is switched between male and female everyday. Supper tantan noodles is great! Breakfast is not bad with both fusion western style and traditional Japanese options. It was a very nice and relaxing time!
