Yoshitomi Vacations from ￥36,638

Great location.probably the closest hotel to the station. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Clean .room has all the amenities

Fast and easy with wonderful assistance from the front desk team

The hotel is located close to a main road but not many restaurants around. The staff is attentive but the room was ok. It was clean but what bothered was the bathroom, a unit bath standard in Japan but the silicone joints around the sink and bath were a bit mold blackened and the bath itself was smelling a bit like mould. The internet was ok and the room was a small one , basically for the bed. I would chose another hotel next time. The good thing is 10 min to the airport as I had an early flight.

One of the highlights of our stay. The hotel is incredibly cool, with a beautifully redesigned interior that feels fresh and youthful. Our river-view suite was gorgeous and easily the biggest room we’ve stayed in during our time in Japan. For a couple of days, I felt as though I were living in a lifestyle magazine—or pretending to be a travel influencer. Yamato Onsen offers everything I wanted from an onsen town, but with a more contemporary, relaxed feel than a traditional ryokan while retaining a strong sense of local onsen culture. The welcoming staff included several English speakers, making settling in easy. The journey from Hiroshima was straightforward, especially by car. I’d definitely return: this is a magical, calming getaway for a couple of nights. If you’re visiting Japan and want to experience an onsen town without staying in a traditional ryokan, it’s well worth considering.
