Best Hotels in Minamiyamashiro, Japan

I stayed at a hotel with a new concept of Marriott Hotel. When I was looking for a hotel to stay the night before to see the Shosoin exhibition at the museum in Nara City adjacent the next day, a new hotel was built where Marriott's service could be received at a low price. I immediately stayed there. The hospitality of the staff is prepared by Marriott, but the flexible response that is not particular about the format is wonderful. The facilities in the room are also new, so I dare to remove the bathtub. There is a rain shower booth separate from the toilet. I had a comfortable sleep on the large and fluffy bed. There is no breakfast restaurant, but there is ”Michi no Eki Nanzanjo Village” on the site next door. So I had a ”tea porridge set meal”. From now on, it seems that you can do it in various places such as Nikko, Gifu, Hokkaido, etc., so I would like to stay and plan a trip to explore the surrounding area.

The hotel is located in Iga City. We drive by car. It is actually easier to find through car navigation. However, it is located in a small road in a residential area and it is easy to miss. However, the hotel is the tallest building nearby and easy to see. The hotel has free parking spaces, but if the parking is full, you have to park at the Morikawa Hospital parking lot two intersections away. Give the hotel a parking ticket. The hotel will give a 500 yen subsidy. It is very good. The breakfast is also great. When you check in Make a reservation in advance, 800 yen per person, very good Japanese breakfast

Because it is called Wazo inn, I didn't know what was different from the usual route inn. Because it is a route inn, it is a large bath (using artificial stones) and breakfast. There are convenience stores, bookstore and famous dengaku restaurants within walking distance. It is mainly used by car, but it is 3 minutes walk from IgA Railway Nishiote Station and accessible by public transportation, and it is perfect for sightseeing bases such as Ueno Jo castle and Ninja Museum nearby.

Traditional Japanese breakfast set meal, good value for money The Imperial Hotel of Japan There is a shuttle bus to and from the hotel from Kintetsu and JR. There is a timetable in the picture. The room is a bit old, but it has a garden view. The service staff is very patient and courteous. The deer feeding is right under the balcony. It is very convenient to go to Mount Wakakusa, right on the edge of the park. There is a bus at the door

A hotel that feels like a business ＋ hot spring hotel, just next to JR Nara Station. The room is clean and quite large, ３ F, but the view from the window was completely elevated by the railway, and I was worried about the sound of the train. The bathroom in the room has only a shower, but there is a large communal bath in a natural hot spring, so I was able to relax. There was no problem with the hot springs and breakfast, and it was as expected. Free bottled water 1 book in the refrigerator, WiFi is also free to connect.

The transportation is not very convenient. After getting off the subway, I pushed my suitcase for more than 800 meters. I didn't expect such a high-end hotel in the middle of the night. The room was particularly good. When checking in at the front desk, the staff were very polite and considerate. They clearly reminded me of the traffic conditions and timetable for the next day's trip, as well as the last bus time that I should pay attention to. Service: Very considerate Shuttle service: very punctual Hygiene: very clean Environment: I didn’t expect such a good hotel to appear Facilities: Very complete

Overall it was a great experience, so I gave it 5 stars🌟! Let’s talk about the advantages first: 1. The wood used in the interior decoration of the hotel is very natural, minimalist with a touch of luxury, giving people a very comfortable feeling☺️ 2. The outdoor hot spring pool experience is also very good, with beautiful scenery. It would be better if the tank could be larger. Otherwise, 2-3 people living in a room would not be able to experience it in 50 minutes. This is not very user-friendly. You are only given 50 minutes depending on the number of people, and the tank is too small so only one person can go in and soak in. Others have to wait outside, and couples cannot enjoy it at the same time. 🥺🥺🥺 3. In addition, the food is pretty good. Drinks are not included. There are not many amazing flavors. The first cold dish is the best. 4. The night view of Mt. Wakakusa is great, I must like this! The hotel will drive you up the mountain to see it👍 Let’s talk about the points that need to be improved: 1. The hotel service is a bit embarrassing, and the attitude is excellent, but there are always some indescribable feelings of inconsistency, such as kneeling service during check-in, and dining activities in the back. The waiter who checks you in does not even remember your last name and where you are. There are only a few rooms in the hotel (not for such a small-scale boutique B&B with few rooms), and there are obvious traces of the process. He also said that he would help to ask if there is any space in the private hot spring the next morning, but nothing was said. 🐶 2. The pillows on the bed in the room are very uncomfortable and too high. There is no difference between the two pillows as they are high. There is no choice. Be careful of stiff neck. 👴 3. The included dinner does not include drinks and menu upgrades, which need to be ordered separately, but we did not order them. When we checked out, the waitress came to ask us for payment. When we expressed confusion, she asked us if we had ordered dinner. Extra drinks. Please, don’t you keep track of whether guests order or not? Wouldn't it be rude to ask guests to confirm the check-out time themselves? 🙁 4. After observing the guests who stayed that day, basically the majority were Chinese (including Hong Kong and Taiwan), followed by a few European, American and Japanese guests. However, the hotel did not have a Chinese-speaking waiter. In addition to Japanese, it was Japanese-style English that was forced to recite words. I want to say that although you can communicate in English, but if you can't speak it, are you really respecting the Chinese guests by talking like a duck throughout the process? After all, it is extremely difficult to communicate like this. Some Japanese people cannot understand the English they speak. I wonder how the hotel has no Chinese-speaking waiters when there are so many Chinese guests and they even open Weibo for promotion? 🙁

It was the second time to use it, but the facilities are wide 々 and comfortable. The hot springs were comfortable. Some of the products at the shop were not priced, and when I asked the front desk, they looked it up, but it seemed that I didn't know when I asked, ”Is it individual packaging?” I pushed it from under the box and said, ”It's individual packaging.” and so on. The restaurant was very delicious (IgA beef) and I was happy that the price was cheap, but the man in black clothes who guided me felt very good, but he was a foreigner and didn't seem to have any knowledge of cooking. Japanese locals explained in detail about the sake set. I want to use it again because the cospa can be relaxed well.

Very satisfactory! Location is ok ! Very close to local train and bus station but for JR is 15 minutes walk, though the JR has a bus line for it but you still need to pay $220.and have to wait every 20 minutes! the local bus is more convenient! Room is big and comfortable! Would recommend and come back again!

It is a building that feels the age at first glance, but when I stepped in, the nostalgic space that was carefully maintained spread. The room I stayed in ”Awafuji” was a really nice room. In a tatami room with a wide 々, the ceiling is high and you can feel ”I came to stay at my grandparents' house”. I thought it was lit up without worrying when I saw the garden at night. It was only once that I was able to meet the staff because it was a corona cherry blossom, but I was able to feel the hospitality of the hospitality. I would like to let you go again.
