Hotel Nagashima

Our family of 4 stayed for 3 nights at Hotel Nagashima in April 2024. The good things: Excellent service, friendly staff, free access to Nagashima Spaland, free access to the excellent public Onsen facilities, spacious rooms, in room private onsen bath, fantastic all-you-can-eat breakfast and dinner buffet included in the accommodation price. The hotel has free shuttle bus runs between the hotel and Kuwana station and the Nabana no Sato gardens, so you don't need to pay for any public transport to/from the hotel. To be aware of: Room price does NOT include any ride passes at Nagashima Spaland. A discounted all-day, all-access ride pass is ¥50,000 for guests, or ¥58,000 for the public. Guests get 15mins early access to the park before the public gates are opened. The rooms and some facilities are a little dated, but everything is clean, tidy and functional. This is not a typical western tourist resort. I got the sense that Westerners were few and far between at the hotel. Indeed, for 2 of our days, we didn't see any another westerners at the hotel. There was absolutely no problems with this, but it's just something that struck me as unique from the other places we visited in Japan. The place is about a 1.5hrs from Nagoya. It's not super easy to get to my public transport, but the hotel Shuttle bus between Kuwana Station definitely helps. Contact the hotel by email for shuttle bus times. We took a cab from Legoland Nagoya to the hotel. Approx 20mins and ¥60,000. The bad: My daughter got ************** after dinner at the buffet on our first night. We are blaming a questionable oyster-like shellfish (Turban Shell) - this was the only things she ate differently to the other 3 people in our family. The staff were very apologetic and allowed us to stay an extra night to make up for our missed day at Spaland.

If you want to have a stay at somewhere around Nagashima Resort, this hotel is surely one of your choices, especially for those who wants a relatively cheaper choice. It worth this price, providing free entertainment park ticket and onsen ticket. It also provides breakfast and dinner buffet. The taste is overall not bad, a normal buffet, but in good price. I will definitely visit this hotel again if I have to stay in Nagashima Resort.
