Hotels near Norfolk Plaza, Kitakyushu City

It was super convenient for my husband and I as we were taking a break in the middle of our journey from Osaka to Oita. Just a couple minutes walk from the train station. It is more spacious than most hotels in major cities. And it is also within walking distance to restaurants and major attractions in Kokura. And they also provide a self-service luggage storage. We will stay here again if we ever need to transit through Kokura.

All of the workers at this hotel were very nice and kind. The hotel’s location is close to Kokura Station and very easy to walk. I found the room to be spacious and very comfortable for a night’s stay.

I decided to stay at Rihga Royal Hotel Kokura for my last three nights in Japan before flying back to Manila via Fukuoka International Airport, and I’m so glad I did because the room was very spacious, the amenities were complete, and the breakfast was such a delight. The hotel is also connected to the Kokura Station via a roofed walkway, so the weather (rain or scorching heat) wouldn’t be a concern.

Round the corner from the jr station. Eating places, drinking places all around.

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!!

It is our repeated stay at the hotel. We like larger room size and the excellent location which is surrounded by choice of food varieties, and proximty to the station.

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.

The hotel is also conveniently located in Kokura, making it easy to explore nearby spots. The hotel has a classic Japanese-style atmosphere with a beautiful traditional garden, koi pond, and stone pathways that instantly give you a calm, peaceful feeling

The Hotel is located very close to the Wakamatsu Railway station. The area around the hotel is a very quiet area with few shops around. I arrived the hotel at around 2200 and by then all the shops around was closed. I managed to find a family mart near the station and for dinner i went to Sukiya which I understand is open till 3 AM. The staff was very courteous and the checking in process was seamless. The rooms were small and very similar to other Japanese hotel rooms. The bedding was clean and neat and the linens were nicely tucked in. Since the air conditioning units remote was in Japanese language , had bit of a trouble in getting the AC started. However this was immediately resolved by the staff at the front desk and the AC cooling was very good. The toilet was small and was similar to other Japanese hotels. The supplies in the toilet was nice and adequate. The Morning breakfast spread was nice with western and Japanese cuisine and the food quality and taste was very good. I will definitely recommend Route Inn to all business travelers travelling to Wakamatsu / Hibiki Nada Area

It is a relax place. No convenience store nearby. Suggest to buy food before driving there. The landscape is great. And the hot spring is cool. The food there is great too
