The hotel is very close to Kokura Station, and it is very convenient for eating and shopping. Although the room is written as 11 square meters, a 28-inch suitcase can be opened, so the room should be 13~14 square meters

Before departure, I was informed that the itinerary would change. I would not go to Mount Sarakura, but would go to Kokura Castle and Mojiko Port instead. It was a pretty relaxing day.
