table of contents
"Kokura" is located in Kitakyushu City, which is famous for its fulfilling child-rearing support system. The Shinkansen stops at Kokura Station, which is located in the center of the city, so access is easy. There are plenty of spots that families can enjoy, such as the Kanmon Strait Museum, which has a children's playground where children can play to their heart's content, the Kyushu Railway Museum, which is filled with the romance of boys, and the Kitakyushu Municipal Children's Museum, which has many attractions and events. !
When traveling with small children, you have to be careful. Even if you go on a trip, you may feel uneasy that you may feel tired rather than refreshed. For such people, we would like to recommend inns that have a "family plan" for families, as well as inns for families with full services and facilities, such as Japanese-style rooms, amenities for children, and buffets. This time, we will introduce hotels and ryokan in Kokura where you can stay with peace of mind even with children.
