HOTEL R9 The Yard Chikuzen

Although the location is a bit far from the city center, the price is very affordable. The front desk staff, despite not speaking much English, were very friendly and polite. Free parking right in front of the room was super convenient, so I didn't have to go anywhere else to pick up my car the next day. The individual container rooms were quite unique and had all the necessary amenities, including a microwave, which was great for heating up food I bought myself. It's very friendly for self-driving travelers.

The location is a bit out of the way. The staff are friendly. When you stay, you get one frozen food exchange coupon per person. I had the pasta and stir-fried udon, and they were quite tasty. The room has a large refrigerator and a microwave. However, the pillow was too hard, but considering it's a budget-friendly place, it wasn't too bad. Due to the location, it wasn't entirely bug-free. Moths would fly in if you opened the door at night. Since that's something the hotel can't really control, it was fine.

Great for road trips in Fukuoka! Parking is conveniently located right outside the room. The laundry room and front desk service were both quick and efficient. The soundproofing is also excellent (due to each room being a separate container unit).

Excellent value for money. You can park right outside your room. The room was more spacious than expected, and the indoor shower facilities were very good. It came with a fridge and a microwave. The bedding was very clean. Free bento box for breakfast.

This hotel is really unique, made up of individual containers, which feels special. The room was close to the parking, so that was convenient. There are about five or six steps leading into the room, so it might not be suitable for elderly guests carrying their own luggage. The room space was decent for a small room; we could still move around after opening our luggage. A pleasant surprise was the small meal box provided for each person, which could be used for a late-night snack or breakfast – a nice touch.

The hotel is located next to a highway, and the entrance is not very obvious. There's a supermarket and a convenience store right next to it. Each container unit is a room, roughly the same size as a typical hotel room. Some rooms have parking spaces right outside their doors, but these are not assigned. Each room comes with two meal vouchers per night, which can be exchanged for frozen food or ice cream at the front desk. However, the front desk is closed from 10 AM to 3 PM, so guests staying for multiple consecutive nights should take note. The rooms have a refrigerator and a microwave for storing and heating food.

I usually stay in that room myself, and the parking space is right in front of my door! I don't know why, even though I have two rooms, both parking spaces in front of the door were taken! I asked the staff, and they said parking spaces are free for all to use! This is really a bit frustrating!

R9 Garden Hotel is in a great location and offers free parking. There's a supermarket and convenience store right next door. The rooms come with a microwave, so you can buy food and heat it up. The room rates are affordable, offering excellent value for money.

My stay at HOTEL R9 The Yard Chikuzen exceeded my expectations! This hotel is perfect for those traveling by car, with a free parking lot conveniently located near the rooms, making it super easy to access your vehicle. The staff at check-in were polite and attentive, providing excellent service. The lobby offers a complimentary self-service coffee machine, and toiletries are available for guests to take, which is a thoughtful touch. The biggest surprise was the daily light meal voucher given to each guest, which could be redeemed for frozen foods, ice cream, and more – the selection was abundant and delicious. The rooms are designed as independent container units, offering great privacy and soundproofing. They are also equipped with a microwave and a mini-fridge, which were very convenient to use. Overall, it offers extremely high value for money, and I highly recommend it to travelers with a car.
