Triple beds was nice and the view from the room was beautiful. It was very easy access from the station. We wish we could use the swimming facility within the price.

Art Hotel KOKURA New Tagawa
Room was a little worn out but actually lended to the old European style they were going for, garden view from room was pretty good but very nice from the all-day restaurant during breakfast buffer (which also had a great selection of Japanese and Western food), would be good if they had a coin laundry ...
