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

Each attraction is very beautiful. The shrine is not easy to reach by car. The tour guide service is very good and pays attention to the needs of the group members. The time of each itinerary is very smooth.

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.
