Nishitetsu Inn Kurosaki
I had a very enjoyable stay. My only request would be to have a more comfortable bed. Bed was a bit to hard for me. Otherwise everything very very good.

We got a big help from Mr Io Choka when we checked in, he is super friendly and helpful since we have quite many luggages and he helped us to deliver our luggages to our room; able to help us to look for nearby restaurants. Our room is big and clean.
