Experience of the stay
This time, I came to Kyushu using the Tokyo Kyushu Ferry from Yokosuka.
A bus departs from the ferry terminal to Kokura Station.
【Access】
★ The bus stop is at Kokura Station, and it's less than a 5-minute walk to the station, which offers great accessibility.
★ I think various people will find this convenient, whether they arrived by ferry like me or took the Shinkansen.
★ There’s a convenience store just a short walk from the hotel, making it easy to procure food and other necessities.
【Hotel Facilities】
★ The interior and rooms were very clean, and I had no issues at all.
★ I didn't read any comics, but there were many lined up at the entrance.
★ I’ve stayed at the same chain, Quintessa Haneda, but unlike Haneda (which is open 24 hours), the meal hours here are fixed. However, there is a variety of toppings available. I couldn't utilize it this time due to time constraints, but I certainly want to try the curry next time.
【About the Room】
★ The "Standard Single" that I stayed in had a simple interior, with sufficient space for one person.
★ Amenities are not provided in the room, so you'll need to pick them up from a designated area in front of the front desk. Basic items are all available.
★ There are outlets and USB ports beside the bed, making charging a breeze.
★ Instead of a card key, it uses an auto-lock key system.
Located near the station, it’s very convenient, easy to use for any scenario, and the free meals are a great bonus. I think it’s a great value for two people staying together. Highly recommended★★★★★
Experiences during the trip
I usually use a plane to get to Kyushu, but this time I took the Tokyo Kyushu Ferry. After a journey of over 20 hours from Yokosuka Port, I thought it would feel quite long, but once on board, it passed in no time. The weather was great, and the sea was calm, so I could spend my time comfortably without much rocking. The food and views were absolutely wonderful.
Regarding the meals, rather than a buffet, it was a restaurant-style with local specialties on the menu. It was hard to choose, but everything was delicious.
As for the scenery, it was breathtaking at every moment, with the sunrise (which I unfortunately missed), the sunset, and even the sight of sister ships passing by.
For those who have a bit of extra time, want to do a digital detox, or simply love the sea and ships, this is highly recommended!
