Hotels near JR Iyo-Komatsu station, Saijo

It’s a love hotel, but the service and attention to details are way better than what you get in a normal hotel! Couples travelling should definitely try this, it might spark your relationship. Breakfast is great too!

7 ～ 8 years ago when I stayed at other super hotels (two-stage bed room), I thought it was small, but this time I stayed and it was the impression that it was narrow. The size of the bed is no problem, but there were many luggage, so there was little space to put and only to put on the bed. The bathroom was narrow and it felt difficult to move. Because there was one elevator, it may not be easy to ride when it is crowded. However, the location was within walking distance of convenience stores and restaurants, and the hotel itself was new and clean. Also, there was a free service of alcohol until 18:00 ～ 21:00, and there were many types and many were very satisfied here. Breakfast was free and there were not many types, but I would like to thank you for free. The woman also received amenities such as cosmetics, and the staff 々 was also kind and polite. Thank you.

　The next day, the hotel was chosen to go to the site of Besshi Copper Mountain, called ”Machu Picchu in the East”, in front of Niihama Station in Toyoko Inn. Is it built at Niihama Station and its surroundings where there was nothing? The station, the station square, and the Toyoko inn here were still new, and there were few buildings, and there was no old station front. We checked in after dinner, but maybe we need to go to the downtown a little far away to have dinner. Toyoko Inn itself is usually Toyoko ink quality. Both the building and the room are not luxurious, but bright and clean and clean. Free breakfast was also individually packed in the pack, not the usual buffet.

Nibukawa Onsen is a hot spring area located in Nibukawa, Tamagawa-cho, Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture. It is said to be the three hot springs of Iyo along with Dogo Onsen and Hondani Onsen. Mikado, Dutsukawa Onsen, is an inn located in Dutsukawa Onsen. I will stay here this time. On December 10, 2020, I visited Nishiyama Koryuji Temple on that day. From there, I drove to the parking lot of Mikato. It is an unpaved parking lot, but it is easy to park. Enter the entrance. The hall has a Showa retro atmosphere. I will stay in a room called Yoshino on the first floor on this day. Japanese-style room. A massage chair is attached to the room. I go to a hot spring, but the room also has a bath. The room bath is also a hot spring, which is a luxury. Outside the window is a valley. Although it is an old room, the toilet is a hot water toilet seat. I had time to dinner, so I decided to take a walk. I can see something like a promenade under the road, but it seems that it has been left unattended for a considerable period of time, so I decided to go on the road. Enter the promenade where you are going ahead. You can see the reverse arched bridge. It is called Yunohana Bridge, and it seems to be a rare shape with only ２ places nationwide. The valley is beautiful. I walked to the Fureai Bridge. Worship at Yu Shrine. I'm back at the inn. It's a long-awaited dinner. The quality of the hot springs I entered before the meal was excellent. It seems that the content of radon in the source is large. The menu of this day is an inobuta hot pot. Shirako tofu. Grilled salmon with salt. sashimi. Tempura. What a matsutake mushroom tempura. Sake is Yukijaku. Seafood carpaccio. Kamameshi. Ise shrimp. Dessert is almond tofu. Take a good rest and have breakfast. After the meal, celebrate the birthday of the treasure with the cake you received. Check out and proceeded ahead.

Very disappointed to be writing this review... Firstly, their website is dreadfully dated and their booking system puzzling, even comically so. It almost feels like using the Wayback Machine... I tried booking five or six months in advance and so I wrote to the hotel to express my excitement for both coming back to Imabari where I once lived and worked teaching English in 1999, and also that I had always wanted to stay at the hotel, as I actually lived directly across the road from the hotel and always thought it so exclusive and luxurious-looking, and it was the talk-of-the-town back in '99 when they were still very new. I was willing to pay a substantial room rate for a Tatami Suite (approx. ¥30,000 per night for three nights) however was advised that they were sold-out for my desired dates-of-stay in March 2023. What irked me is that no alternative accommodation options were offered, despite there still being availability on third-party websites such as *********** and ******* for other room types, and there was no acknowledgment of my excitement and enthusiasm for wanting to be a guest of theirs' after so many years, or for any disappointment caused. This is terrible service, and not exactly what one would call 'growing the business' to reject a potential guest despite having other rooms and suites available to sell. We instead booked ourselves a washitsu (traditional Japanese tatami room) at Hotel Kikusui Imabari down by the port, which was cute, comfortable, clean, and looks to have had recently had a refurbishment of their guestrooms as the bathrooms while small were nice and new. The cost of this room was also about a third of what the Kokusai Imabari Hotel asks for their Tatami Suites as well. I still wanted to go to the Kokusai Imabri Hotel however and at least see their gardens and lobby, pick up some Imbari towels from the official store at the front entrance, and have breakfast in their restaurant. The lobby is very nice and it does have the grandeur of a Japanese hotel trying to be a European hotel without being tacky or dated, and it does appear that they have recently cleaned all the chandeliers (I'd read other reviews and this seems to have been a first impression for a lot of guests, so this was a nice surprise to see them dust-free). We had a look at the gardens outside and they were very nice and maintained as to be expected with Japanese gardens. So why the 1 star review? Well, we wanted to treat ourselves to what we thought would be a five-star breakfast. We were told to go upstairs to the mezzanine level and we met a nice lady staff member who advised that breakfast would be roughly ¥2,400 per person. No problem, that's fair for a good buffet breakfast. We were then however lead into a huge banquet hall with only a couple of dozen guests dining, which made it feel even emptier and more like a school cafeteria rather than a classy restaurant. We then went to the buffet and it seems that none of the bain mar

This hotel is very new, and it's only around 3 minutes walking distant away from the JR station. The lobby is very big with big windows and has many chairs for guest to sit and rest, there are also bike rack for you to lock the bike at the lobby. We were surprised to find out that there's welcome drinks and beer is also included. Our room was on one of the higher floor, so the view was beautiful. Breakfast was buffet style and was amazing, selection was great and delicious. Would definitely stay there again if we visit the area. The only downside is the staff doesn't understand English too well, but not too big of an issue when there's google translate.

I used it at work, and the parking lot is divided into front and back sides, and there are only 10 cars, so it may be a little short in the car society, and it was a size that struggled to park when there were many mini van classes. The door of the unit bus is rubbed with the frame and it is unstable to open and close, and the toilet seat comes down freely during use and uses it while pressing it with hand. On the other hand, there is a side that I think home breakfast is good in health.

The hotel's reception area and bar are quite modern with some cute Japanese décor and homewares on shelves. There is also a complimentary 'amenity buffet' so you can pick up some extra soaps, shampoos, bath salts, etc. any time you need them. We had a wa****su (traditional Japanese tatami room) on the 3rd floor that was moderate in size but very clean and looks to have had a recent renovation as the bathroom was very new and modern. Imabari's main shopping street is just a 2 minute walk away with some nice coffee shops and homeware stores. There are also two Poeme stores very closeby where you can buy Imabari's local sweet treat which are perfect with coffee and also as a boxed gift idea too! The nearest convenience store (a Family Mart) is about a 5 minute walk away and Imabari Castle is about a 10 minute walk from the hotel's front entrance and makes for an interesting afternoon and has an excellent 360 degree view from the top. The hotel has bicycles that you can rent for free, however the seats were very uncomfortable and even a little painful (though it might just be me, as I haven't ridden a bicycle in quite a few years and am a big heavy Australian bloke!) Our futons were very comfortable and we had a great nights' sleep and felt very refreshed in the morning. Unfortunately we made the decision to go to the Imabari Kokusai Hotel for breakfast instead of having breakfast at Hotel Kikusui Imabari and we had quite possibly the worst buffet breakfast there. Really regret we didn't just stay and have breakfast in-house, as the food at Kikusui looked to have been far better and at a fraction of the price too! Couldn't fault this hotel and will absolutely stay again on my next visit to my old hometown of Imabari!

The road to the hotel is difficult to separate cars, but that is also a memory. The food is delicious, so we recommend dinner and breakfast. I am surprised that the wisteria shelf in front of the hotel is very large. The road to the hotel is really narrow, so it is safe to drive slowly. Free WiFi was available in your room.
