Hotels near Inuyama-jokamachi, Inuyama

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.

A very ordinary business hotel. Depending on your accommodation plan, you may receive an energy drink.・There is a charge for breakfast (900 yen), but the quantity is sufficient for breakfast.・If you stay in a room on the west side, it will be hot especially in the summer because the afternoon sun comes in. However, depending on the time on weekdays, you may be able to see scenes of Self-Defense Force aircraft landing.・There are convenience stores and pubs within a 3-minute walk. -The parking lot is not very large, with only about 10 spaces, so if you check in late, you will need to park at a coin parking lot a little further away.

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!

The hotel locates just next to the train station, it is extremely convenient. The staff is very helpful, they help my brother bring our luggages to the station when we all gone for shopping. The facility is very new, the noise reduction function of the windows are perfect. It is so quiet even our rooms are jut next to the train rails. One point needs to appreciate is the basket for towels, it is so well prepared and detail minded that I just need to pick it up and then can go to the hot spring directly. I particularly enjoy the resting room at the public hot spring area. The environment is clean, tidy and relax. For the breakfast, the type of food is just enough, not too many and not too few. The quality is good in general. Just one suggestion for improvement, please provide a weight machine for luggages. It will be more convenient for the shoping lovers like us to check if our luggages are overweight. Please kindly consider.

We stayed here the day before going to Meiji Village. Unfortunately, it was drizzling on the day of our stay, but from our room we could see several people standing in boats fishing on the enormous Iruka Pond. The next morning, the sky was clear and the mirror-like view on the lake's surface was amazing. Dinner was brought to us one dish at a time and was delicious. We were grateful for the kind words and thoughtfulness of the staff. The bath was also good. The only drawback was that the toilet in the room was small. Thank you to all the staff.
