HOTEL R9 The Yard Nakatsu

Because it was raining, we changed our plans, checked in early, and took time to relax. It was nice that coffee and green tea were available for free, but unfortunately they weren’t to my taste. There is some distance between rooms, so you can hear doors opening and closing, but not voices or bathroom noise, which made it easy to relax. The Room was very clean and I was satisfied. The light snacks were also helpful. There are many other locations as well, so I’d like to stay again.

I came across this Hotel while casually searching and it caught my eye. I made a Reservation out of curiosity after learning it’s made from shipping containers. After staying there, I found it just as comfortable as a typical Business Hotel (I’ve stayed at worse places that cost more...). The parking is close (for some Rooms, it’s right in front), the space was cozy, and the shower pressure was great. Having a FamilyMart next door is a big plus, and there’s also a gas station across the street (much cheaper than in Tokyo!). A short drive away there are udon shops and family restaurants, so finding food wasn’t an issue. It seems there are many locations around Kanto as well, so I’d like to stay again if I get the chance.
