A mobile container hotel, Hotel R9 The Yard, opened in Yatsushiro City of Kumamoto Prefecture. The simple and cozy accommodation facility can also be easily used as temporary disaster housing and can be moved to wherever needed. The first such hotel in Kyushu was developed by a Chiba Prefecture-based container company, which now has 44 similar hotels across Japan. Thirty-nine rooms are available for ¥5,600~/night.
