[New Partnership] 'Prince Smart Inn Hakata' Now Available on 'Good Trip Express'! Handle Late-Night Arrivals and Early Morning Flights with Ease.

Nippon Kuyu Co., Ltd. (HQ: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Toshiya Okashita), operator of the travel booking site 'Good Trip Express' (Guttori), has launched a partnership with the next-generation hotel 'Prince Smart Inn Hakata' (Location: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka), operated by Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide Inc. Reservations opened on April 27, 2026.

This partnership introduces a new choice for modern travelers who are highly conscious of cost-performance—those who 'don't want to waste time or money on extras but refuse to compromise on the quality of their trip.'

■ Surge in 'Smart Travelers': Bundling Flights and Accommodation is the New Standard

In recent years, the popularity of LCCs and price comparison services has made travelers more sensitive to value than ever. Simultaneously, there is a growing segment that views the friction of traditional check-in and front desk interactions as a 'waste of time.' To meet these needs, Good Trip Express has been actively expanding partnerships with next-generation hotels that utilize technology for a seamless stay. The tie-up with 'Prince Smart Inn Hakata' further accelerates this initiative.

■ Hotel Overview

Located in the heart of Hakata, Fukuoka, just a 5-minute walk from JR Hakata Station. Its excellent access to the airport makes it ideal for both business and tourism.
- Facility Name: Prince Smart Inn Hakata
- Address: 3-21-4 Hakata-ekimae, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka
- Operator: Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide Inc.

■ Three Points for Smart Travel

1. Zero Stress for Late Arrivals and Early Departures
The hotel is just 5 minutes by subway from Fukuoka Airport to Hakata Station, plus a 5-minute walk. This is the ultimate location for travelers utilizing early or late flights. Even with a late arrival, the automated check-in machines eliminate the need to wait in line.
Furthermore, the 'CARGO PASS' service (starting at 550 JPY per item) allows for same-day luggage delivery between the airport and the hotel. Travelers can enjoy Hakata hands-free from the moment they land.

2. Enjoy Hakata Gourmet Until Late Nearby
Hakata is a city of food that comes alive at night with motsunabe, ramen, and food stalls. Numerous restaurants operating late are located around the hotel, making it realistic to head straight for gourmet food after landing. The next morning, enjoy a free breakfast featuring Kyushu ingredients at 'comecomeBURGER Hakata Ekimae' before heading to the airport.

3. Optimized Design for Value and Experience
Prince Smart Inn Hakata pursues simplicity with a functional design focused on the stay itself. However, it does not hold back on essential investments like high-quality bedding by Prince Hotels, rain showers, and smart speakers. Combining this with Good Trip Express's flight sets further enhances the total cost-performance of the trip.

■ Recommended for:
- Travelers wanting to save costs using early/late flights.
- Foodies wanting to enjoy Hakata gourmet and head to the airport the next morning.
- Those who want to hit the town immediately without check-in hassles.
- Travelers focusing on the content of the trip rather than redundant facilities.
