Asano Hotel

I stayed one night at this Hotel while sightseeing. It’s conveniently located about a 3-minute walk from the Shinkansen Exit (North Exit) of Kokura Station. Check-in was smooth, and I was able to borrow the key for the large public bath without any issues before heading to my Room. The Room was thoroughly cleaned, and the unit bath in particular felt very clean. One drink in the refrigerator was free; additional drinks were 100 yen each. Amenities were well stocked, and although there were other guests, I was able to relax in the large public bath, which is women-only from 20:00 to 21:00. Breakfast is served on the second floor buffet-style. There were many home-style dishes, and since it was Friday, I also enjoyed delicious curry—very satisfying. On the 8th floor, there are free massage chairs, two coin laundry machines (100 yen), and vending machines for drinks and food. All of the Hotel staff were polite, and their warm words made me happy. I would like to stay here again when traveling. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

There were a few minor inconveniences, such as no power outlet near the bed, but although the Facility is not new, it felt clean. It seems there are no amenities. The woman at the front desk was friendly and kind, so I felt at ease during my stay. I found the umbrella bag—sorry for the trouble and concern. The breakfast, known for being delicious, really was—simple home-style food that I truly enjoyed. I didn’t get to use it, but they even offer free drinks. Even though it was Saturday, the price was surprisingly low. Excellent value for money.
