Highness Hotel Kurume
Right at the station's east exit, breakfast included
About this stay
The evidence is unambiguous here: Highness Hotel Kurume sits right next to the east exit of Nishitetsu-Kurume Train Station, about as close to a rail platform as a hotel gets in this city. Rooms are simply furnished but cover the basics well, air-conditioned with a private bath, LCD TV, fridge, and electric kettle, plus slippers and toiletries laid out rather than left to guests to request. A light complimentary breakfast of coffee or a soft drink with bread is served on site, enough for an early departure rather than a long sit-down meal. The 24-hour front desk handles luggage storage and laundry service, useful for anyone stringing together several Kyushu cities by rail. Suitengu Shrine is a 3.5-kilometer trip from the hotel and Kora Taisha Shrine a 20-minute drive, both outings rather than walks, while parking sits off-site for a fee for anyone who does arrive by car.

Our take
This is built for a traveler whose priority is the shortest possible walk from a Nishitetsu train to a bed, with the east exit essentially at the door and a light breakfast to match an early rail departure. Couples travelling on a budget rate the location well, though anyone wanting a full breakfast spread or an on-site restaurant should look elsewhere.
- Time your Nishitetsu train arrival loosely, the east exit puts the hotel within a short walk regardless.
- Take the light breakfast if you have an early train the next morning, it is built for exactly that.
- Arrange parking off-site in advance if driving, the hotel itself does not have a car park.
Why we love it
- Right next to Nishitetsu-Kurume Station's east exit
- A light breakfast built for early departures
- Slippers and toiletries laid out, not just offered
- Laundry service for multi-city rail trips
Why guests love itThe location lived up to the listing: stepping off the train at the east exit, the hotel was close enough to see the sign. Rooms are simple, but the private bath, kettle, and pre-set slippers meant nothing needed asking for at the desk. The light breakfast of coffee and bread was exactly enough before an early train onward. This is not a hotel for a lazy morning meal, but for a traveler moving city to city by rail, the exit-to-bed distance is hard to beat.
