Hyogo Prefecture Honeymoon Vacations

I am Canadian and recently retired from my position as President of a famous Japanese company in both Canada and USA. I have been to Japan upwards of 50 times and I have been spoiled staying at some of the most wonderful hotels and resorts throughout Asia, North America, Caribbean etc. I am currently spending 90 days in Japan therefore, within budget, I am staying at moderately priced hotels throughout the country and I came upon this hotel. With my many experience over the years, there is no doubt...this is in the top 5 of the BEST HOTELS I have ever stayed at! It is absolutely beautiful and elegant in that wonderfully understated Japanese way. 1. Lobby It's the first thing we usually notice when entering a hotel. This lobby is beautiful, spacious and elegant. 2. Room As a solo traveller on a budget, I chose a single room. But it was perfect. Unlike North America, Japanese hotel rooms are relatively small, but so well organized. 3. Breakfast This is without doubt one of the BEST buffet style breakfasts I have ever had! Not only is the selection wide and varied, but the quality of the food and taste is absolutely outstanding! 4. Pool Yes, as noted in other reviews, there is a cost for using the swimming pool. BUT, that is somewhat common in Japan. When we consider the amazing low nightly cost for the room, so what. Paying for use of the pool is no big deal. In conclusion: I plan to return to this hotel again before my trip is over. I LOVE this hotel!

Spacious and clean bathroom, a little uncomfortable pillows and tasty complementary coffee in the room!

It’s good location and has very nice views.

Service and cleanness

Bedroom was nice and spacious, It’s a good distance from anywhere but there is a free shuttle bus. The hotel is enormous and linked to a conference centre. The open air swimming pool charges its hotel guests to use it. I found the hotel quite impersonal which is understandable due to its size. Overall it’s OK but I wouldn’t book to stay there again.

The room and especially the comforter were amazing, the staff was great for the most part, but the slightest bit judgey at reception.
