Shibukawa Zoo

This was my favourite stay when visiting Japan. Quite quirky and probably was an ‘adult’ hotel at some stage but the rooms are very well appointed. I had a massage chair and spa in my room even though these weren’t mentioned. (Not to mention a slot machine and adult vending machine haha!) Amazing amenities including hair straightener and curler (in addition to the hair drier). It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was included even though it wasn’t advertised. They take your order the day before and deliver to your room at your chosen time. Just amazing. And super cheap. Had parking. It’s in an industrial area but is good for a night or two. I would 100% stay here again when in Japan just for the novelty and incredibly cheap price for what you get.

I can only say excellent things about Uno. The rooms, the amenities, the food, the service were all terrific. Add to that the super convenient location for both the train station and the ferry and you have an unbeatable combo. If you happen to be fortunate enough to book one of the rooms that have both an indoor and outdoor terrace, well then enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
