Futaoi, Shimonoseki hotel rooms at the Independent

"Again one of the good hotel finds of 2024 for me - convenient location within the Kokura station itself that allows easy access to both Shinkansen and local trains, delectable array of breakfast items and rather large room with a stunning view of the Kitakyushu Monorail. Highly recommend!"

"Convenient hotel, not too far walk to the train station. The hotel is fine, nice breakfast and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is a Seven 11 next door. Rooms are fine and average size for Japanese hotels. "

"Excellent business hotel with great, friendly staff. A short walk from Kokura Station and my room had a nice view of the waterfront port. Complimentary breakfast of japanese comfort foods, plus breads/pastries & coffee was satisfying & serviced by the nicest & hardest working staff."

"All you can eat Curry is awesome till you get sick of it. :)"

"Huge rooms with beautiful views and an onsite Japanese garden super close to the monorail station connecting to the JR Kokura train station and other destinations. The hotel was a bit dated but clean. The retro feel of the rooms may be a selling point to those who like that however. "

"Very convenient hotel at Mojiko.. hotel is old but well maintain. Parking area was not indoor. The day check out was raining a little bit inconvenient. However the man helping parking outside the hotel was very good, every time we park in he ran to us and showed us where to park, the weather was cold with strong wind, appreciate his hard work! "

"Just a few minutes walk from the station. "

"Space bigger"

"Overpriced for what it is. Spend less and go to a hostel, or more for a better hotel. Terrible rooms, open ceilings, very hot, not good. Booked for 5 days and didn’t even stay for 1 it was so bad."
