Compare 5 airports near Shimonoseki
For most travelers, Yamaguchi Ube Airport (UBJ) is the most practical entry point as it is the closest to Shimonoseki, located in a neighboring city, and offers the quickest, most economical transport via direct bus. Fukuoka Airport (FUK) serves as a major international hub for the region; while it is further away in a different city, it provides excellent connectivity via the Shinkansen and is ideal for travelers needing wider international flight options. The other options, Iwami Airport (IWJ), Oita Airport (OIT), and Saga International Airport (HSG), are all located in nearby cities and involve significantly longer travel times to reach Shimonoseki. These regional airports primarily handle domestic traffic and are best chosen only if flight schedules or specific fare deals align better with your plans. Travelers should note that none of these airports are located within Shimonoseki city itself. Always check local train and bus timetables in advance, as last-mile connections can vary by time of day.

The hotel parking space, is outsourced to park in another place, we arrived at 3:30 pm, saw a parking space but the staff said there was someone parked, just out!
But the outsourced parking space has a time limit, not self-in, in addition to the time clock, if there is an option, the hotel's own parking lot is much more convenient!
Every time there is no parking space, but the hotel hot spring is on the 10th floor, you can see the sea view, is my most reminiscent! Guests are not crowded, very comfortable, everyone can enjoy quietly!FromUS$107

The hotel is located really close to Shimonoseki station. The room is clean. The front desk staffs both night shift and morning shift are friendly. I arrived the hotel around 10PM so there weren’t many restaurants that still open at that hour. I had to walk a bit far for a convenient store. But I really enjoyed spending the night there!FromUS$40

Overall, it was good, but the lighting in the large bathhouse was quite dim, so I was suddenly scared when I was bathing alone. It would have been better if the lighting was a little brighter. The air conditioning in the locker room was weak, so after bathing, I started sweating again. In the summer, it would have been nice to have a medium-sized fan.FromUS$51

Value for money. Highly recommended. Will stay again.
The room is large for us to open and pack our luggage in preparing to depart airport the next day.
The room facilities are convenient (without stairs) to suit my usage as a person with walking difficulties.
I especially love the ensuite onsen bath with beautiful ocean view.
The dinner and breakfast are delicious.FromUS$213

I used a wheelchair with my mother who was uncomfortable with my legs, but the staff were so kind and gave me a discount for older people over 65 years old~
The view of the hot spring bath was so good and the family was comfortable and enjoyable in a spacious room ~
Thank you very much for your kind response ~
Breakfast was clean and good, but it may not suit your taste according to your taste ~ ♡FromUS$50

The hotel is located close to JR Shimonoseki Station. There is free parking at the hotel. You can drive directly to the parking lot and ask the staff for a parking card when you check in. Because of the surrounding shops, the hotel's location is more suitable for business travelers and is not recommended for family purposes.FromUS$36

This is not the Hotel in the photo added. The hotel is a reasonable Japanese style business hotel. The staff were very kind and friendly and tried to help us with the booking problem cause by Trip.com. The booking agency (Trip.com) had booked us as 6 guests and charged us accordingly. We were 4 adults and one child and were overcharged by Trip.com by 1/3 of the price (about 10,000 yen). The hotel staff were helpful but they couldn't do anything as this was a mistake by the agents not the hotel. I will be contacting Trip.com to ask for a refund of the amount they charged us in error.FromUS$49

The view is great, the food was great and the room was good. The only small things would be the staff could do better explaining things to families checking in, some explanations were vague. While in the rooms they are very clean, but you must be careful bringing any food or drinks in the rooms or the ants will invade the room. Tattoos being accepted for the large bath would be appreciated as well, they are currently very strict on any tattoos that are easily visible.FromUS$451

I think the hotel itself has a history, but thanks to renovation? Thanks to the clean and fashionable interior.
Especially good was breakfast.
There were many things in the ground, and the freshness was outstanding and all were delicious.
On the other hand, the hot spring is clean, but the ingredients felt thin compared with the flow.
The sauna was a little wet at 90 degrees on the upper stage, and the water bath was a little colder.FromUS$197

The location was great, and it was even better that there was a room for four people.

Location is convenient, 5-minute walk from JR Shimonoseki Station - through the footbridge or the underpass (footbridge recommended if you are carrying with you large pieces of luggage as elevators are available). Room setting is great - I especially liked the couch area. Cleanliness was acceptable, but could have been even better. Coin laundry machines at the hotel are among the best I've tried - the passcode lock feature of the machines prevents your clothing items from being mistakenly taken by others.FromUS$65
