Hotels with Wi-Fi in Inuyama

It was a great treat to stay overnight in a lovely, comfortable room with a fabulous view of Inuyama Castle. Although I was out sightseeing for most of the afternoon, the castle was lit up until late at night, and I had a relaxed morning in the room before checkout. It was very cool to glance across and see the iconic tenshu there (the roof of another building was also visible). The broader view was delightfully scenic, including the hotel’s landscaped grounds and swimming pool, the river, buildings on the opposite bank and mountains in the background. I had a balcony with an attractive small couch. The room had a large graphic of the castle on the wall behind the bed and lounge (with another graphic under the huge tv), and featured beautiful fabrics and fittings (super light shades!). I particularly liked the wood, and the woven and “rope” designs. The crockery and teapot were very nice. There was quality tea and coffee (Nespresso coffee machine), snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. I enjoyed delicious and artistically-presented room service meals for dinner and breakfast. WiFi was good, and I was happy to find there was an amplifier. The bathroom was well-designed. The hotel had some fun, innovative Christmas trees and illuminations. It’s nicely landscaped with heaps of space and ideally located riverside and adjacent to pretty Urakuen Garden, home to the National Treasure 16th century teahouse “Jo-an”. The castle, Sankoinari Shrine and the historic Jokomachi precinct are within walking distance. You can still see the castle if you don’t book the more expensive castle rooms, as it’s visible from the ground floor restaurant, pool, grounds and lobby, as well as from windows near the lift on each level. I didn’t try the onset or fitness centre. I’d booked directly and joined the IHG loyalty program. This meant I received a special welcome, invited to sit at a desk across from a kind staff member, in the lobby area showcasing local artisan work. All the staff were pleasant and helpful, and there were no issues in getting a cab after checkout. Hope to stay again one day!

This guesthouse is 0.4 mi (0.6 km) from Inuyama Castle and 0.2 mi (0.4 km) from Zuizenji Temple.Pamper yourself with onsite massages or make use of the other amenities, which include complimentary wireless Internet access.The front desk is staffed during limited hours. Free self parking is available onsite.Make yourself at home in one of the 21 air-conditioned rooms featuring refrigerators. Bathrooms have complimentary toiletries and slippers.

The isolation facilities at the train station are new and clean, the breakfast is average, and there is a large paid parking lot nearby for $900 yen a day. However, Qianqi is not easy to take photos in front of the hotel because those people are police officers! 

This is the second and last time I have stayed at a hotel, as I have not been able to travel this year. Inuyama is about an hour by car or train from my home, and I have been there several times before. There are several hotels with similar grades and rates around Inuyama Station, but I chose this one because the website clearly states that ”parking before check-in and after check-out, and luggage storage is available” (other hotels maybe a hotel). I went by car, but it is about a 5-minute walk from the station and a 15-minute walk to Inuyama Castle. The room is not that big or new, but it was clean and there was no shortage of facilities and equipment. We had a plan with breakfast, but the content was satisfactory. There are many restaurants on Honmachi Street, which extends south from Inuyama Castle, but most of them are for tourists and are not open at night, so we decided to have dinner at an izakaya-like restaurant near the station.
