Art Hotel Kokura New Tagawa

Thank you to the kind staff. This is my second stay here, and I think it might become my go-to hotel in Kokura. Great location nearby the entrance of the covered shopping street that connects to Kokura Station. It was raining on our arrival, but because of the covered shopping street we could walk leisurely, and stop for lunch at a great pizza restaurant on the way. On departure, we decided to take the monorail back to the station, and it was also great, fun view, convenient, and cheap way to get directly into the station plaza. The rooms here are old, but fashionable in a Victorian way, and made of quality materials. The entire hotel feels very clean and well taken care of and the small Japanese garden is excellent.

I loved this location a lot. It was clean and beautiful, but rustic like a Victorian house. I loved the garden views from different places around the hotel, the privacy of the garden and hotel from the outside world, and the calm, peaceful atmosphere. The koi fish were adorable, and the walking path was nice. This is the best staff I've ever met; I wrote them in advance about a health condition, and they did their best to accommodate me.

It is cheap and good value (HK$400/night or US$50/night) for a twin bed room. The staff are nice. There is no free parking but you can find a lot of paid parking with a good value (300-500 yen for overnight) If you have breakfast, the hotel restaurant has a wonderful garden scenery view and very relax.

New and spacious! The family room that I booked and stayed was on its own on the entire floor - separate wing in the hotel ( hard to explain). It has 2 double beds with enough bed linens to sleep 4 easily. Beautiful hotel but missing a public bath and on site parking

The location was perfect! We discussed coming back for the same location and enjoyment. With family here in Japan, we definitely will!
