Kawara Hotels

"It was so convenient on a rainy day to return my rental car and check in to the hotel even in the rain. Then next day bullet train to Okayama also without getting wet on a rainy morning. Great section of restaurants inside the station building and beyond. "

"Check out is 10am. Once you check out, you are not allowed to stay and sit in the lobby, or they will change you extra."

"All good, but l don’t like self check in"

"Everything was very good"

"Great breakfast buffet "

"The breakfast was very poor."

"I had a pleasant stay at APA Hotel Kokura Ekimae. The location is a major highlight—it’s about a 5-minute walk from Kokura Station, making it very convenient for getting around. It’s also close to popular spots like Kokura Castle and Tanga Market, which made sightseeing easy. The hotel operates largely on self-service, which may take a little getting used to, but everything is quite efficient. Even so, the staff are available and willing to assist when needed, which I appreciated. Overall, a solid choice for travelers looking for convenience and accessibility in Kokura."

"Clean Room but the room can't change temperature. Staff ask as to open some windows instead. Overall pretty nice to stay good value for the price. "

"Excellent "
