"The draw for us was to stay in the old house, and it was worth it. The room is very spacious. But the best thing was the staff, they were extremely helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was great, made to accommodate a gluten and dairy allergy, both days the breakfast was delicious!
The steps up to the bedroom are very steep, be careful if you are older or have young kids."

"Our stay at the NIPPONIA HOTEL Yamefukushima Merchant Town was truly exceptional. The room was outstanding – stylish, spotlessly clean, and designed with great attention to detail. The location in Yame’s historic district is also ideal for exploring the area and enjoying the atmosphere of the traditional merchant town.

"The hotel was very clean and absolutely wonderful to stay in. It has a mini kitchen in the lobby that is useful for heating up food and provides utensils. The rooms looked very beautiful and was functional. Next to the hotel is a rest stop that had a local market and restaurant that you can reach easily from the hotel's back door. Overall, a great place to stay."

"The R9 hotel was nice that we could park so close to our room! The only drawback is when it is raining the water comes off in front and when trying to enter the code to the room we get all wet from the runoff. Besides that, it was great."

From the very start the staff was very nice, even though we weren't the best tourists. We stayed a short time, and in that tike the staff was friendly, despite our Faux Pas and were willing to help us with arranging luggage forwarding.
The room we booked was very clean and offered coffee, tea, and ice water in our rooms which we were free to use. The mats we slept on we comfortable and had plush blankets that almost kept us TOO warm during the cool Spring nights.

the two assistant front desk young guys, one from Japan and one from Korea carried my heavy bags up the stairs to my room! Bathtub was great relief. One downside was the internet was slow and sometimes now working, but just to reset the router helped. The period decorations added much "duende" and many "tatami" everywhere. Japanese style inn. I stayed 4 nights and was the only guest in the whole inn for 3 nights.The attached restaurant was popular.

This was a gem of a hotel in the middle of NOWHERE. But I can't fault the hotel with that. The hotel was very clean, staff was nice and my room is huge for even Western standards. Just nothing to eat around that location... 😯
