Honen Matsuri

The hotel features large updated rooms with windows on the bay so it is delightful watching the sun rise and moon from the comfort of your room. The hot baths are excellent. The dinners and breakfasts vary every day and are both outstanding. The price for all this is reasonable. And, let’s not forget the free shuttle to the train station. I felt that staff was over worked and I’m not sure if there were enough staff people.

Very unique, beautiful rooms, staff very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful. Great location.

Be aware travelers with family especially with minors, this is NOT the place you want to stay. I was mislead by the description on Expedia. It says a “couple hotel”. It’s actually a love hotel. I guess if it serves as its intended purpose, it’s ok. Otherwise it’s not. Plus it’s in a remote area. If you don’t have a car, you will have to walk 15 minutes + to a nearest gas station and get gas station food there, the walk back. Me and my teenager had to check out after one hour and taxi to a hotel at Kuwana bus station. Taxi was about 3000 yen. I basically lost my one night hotel money and the hotel refused to refund. Expedia stuff was helpful trying to help me get refunds because of misleading descriptions, but the hotel refused. I rarely write reviews but this time I feel like obligated to do so. I don’t want in the future other traveling family to get the bad as I did. I strongly urge Expedia to do something to make the hotel change its descriptions.
