I loved the staff there, very helpful and very kind. The breakfast was also wonderful! We're both a bit picky, so I am always unsure whether or not paying for breakfast upfront is worth it, but the variety and quality definitely made it worth it in my opinion. The location of the hotel is also pretty convenient, in that we had no trouble walking everywhere. We were in close walking distance to the market, the castle and the garden.

Location was fairly near the JR Takayama Station. A bus station is also nearby. Restaurants are a walking distance. I really liked their initiative to put together a tourist guide for Takayama which can be found in the lobby. The guide was very comprehensive in suggesting activities, destinations and food to try during your stay in Takayama. Twin Room was also fairly large for a Japanese Hotel. Facility was clean and would definitely stay here again. Staff has been really helpful, warm and accommodating.

Location of hotel is amazing, the station is nearby. The staff was super nice and English was not a problem. Room was huge and had all the things you need, what was strange that they didn't offer pyjamas which is normal to have in each hotel which I visited in Japan. Breakfast was fabulous I had to order it as extra though it was worth it it had Japanese, western kitchens everything that you need. You can find a lot of food places near by. I will book this hotel again if I will come back to Kanazawa.

First off, the location was excellent. We were a short walk from Nagoya Station, and best of all, it was easy too. From the Station, walk towards the spiral building (you CANNOT miss it), and then take a left. Aloing the way, there are lots of local eateries that are always full (so you know they're good), and it's also a minute or two away from the local fish market, which offers tonnes of fresh seafood. Apart from that, there are two kombinis (7-11 and Family Mart) about 5 minutes away (although they are not as big as others and often run out of my favourite tamago-sando). The hotel was also very stylish and chic. Honestly, we'd never choose a place like this because we'd assume that the price would have been too prohibitive. Fortunately for us, it wasn't and we found the perfect little spot in Nagoya. The room itself were superbly designed. We needed an extra bed, so it was a bit cramped, but with a bit of imagination and rearranging, we made the space work well for us. The beds were comfortable, and the amenities were superb. The shower (my most crucial factor) was hot and powerful, which we all needed after 10 hours of walking each day. But what made the 5-star stay truly unforgettable was the staff, in particular one Ryosuke Kato! He was the first person to meet us when we checked-in, and we immediately hit it off. Over the next week or so, he took great care of us, and gave us tonnes of recommendations around Nagoya, the smaller cities around, and especially his hometown of Okazaki. In fact, his hospitality and warmth made it feel like we were staying with an old friend in his very posh and upmarket apartment, rather than at one of Nagoya's coolest hotels. We will truly miss him and cannot wait for the day when we see each other again. Ps. When at Nikko Style, make sure you rent the bikes to explore the city a bit. You just need to navigate the parking.

The staff spoke good english and were extemely helpful. The food included in the half board price served in private dining areas was amazingly well presented traditional Japanese food. That looked and tasted out of this world. Some of the best food we had on our trip to Japan and we stayed in several expensive Ryokan. Lovely private or public outdoor onsen or in a subterranean cave. The Noto peninsular is still recovering from the earthquake of Jan 2024 and the terrible flooding in Sept 2024 but a trip there is well worthwhile to see the scenery and see how well the repairs are progressing

It’s clean, very well equipped with heater, cooking utensils. The owners are so nice and friendly. Language may be a barrier but they tried really hard to accommodate all our needs. The place is slightly secluded which is perfect for quiet vacation but you can still go to town centre by just taking 1 train to Karuizawa station and the owners are nice enough to drop and pick you!

My family and I went there to have a short vacation during our long weekend holiday. The surroundings were quiet and beautiful. I saw some deer during my morning walk in the forest. The skies looked amazing at night. If you are tired of the hustle and bustle in the city, it’s a great place to get yourself refreshed. Hope we have a chance to visit there again.

Great place for Mt Fuji views!

Great place for Mt Fuji views! Plan to stay minimally 3D/2N for best chance to see Fuji coz weather conditions unpredictable, could be clouded over so 3D stay helps to increase chance of clear views. Buy the 2D Red/Green tourist bus which allows you to hop on and off anytime. Red route is more touristy and better Fuji views. Green route is more nature sites, good for walks.

Staff in the reception is very helpful and willing to provide you all useful information about the status of all outdoor activities and scenic spots. And you can book subtle bus to reach all these places. Don't miss the coffee in the coffee bar as it reaches Barista-making level. The hot spring public bath on top floor has a genius source of it. Must try! There is a Lawson just located in the other side of the main road. You can buy some stuff with a very short walking distance. There are not so many restaurants operating during weekdays. I would prefer to walking to snow peak LAND STATION to have my meal. It takes 20 minutes to go there. The bus terminal is just next to the hotel. I found it very easy to leave for Nagano train station after checked out. Overall I will stay again next time when I'm back.

A nice and quiet city with a lot to offer. A good base for a day trip to Kamikochi which is a fantastic hiking place. Driving around the city is nice with alps on the backdrop. Matsumoto city alps park is a great place for activities and hangout. Tower of beauty has fantastic mountain views and panoramic scenery. Visit the wasabi farm for interesting and nice wasabi products. Last but not least, the beautiful Matsumoto castle, which will light up at night.

We didn’t explore the area as we were on a road trip and just passing through. We drove from here to Matsumoto which would have been straightforward if we hadn’t got caught in a snowstorm! However, it looked like a more interesting area than we had expected and we would go back to look around the more fully on another trip.

Fujiyoshida offers beautiful views of Mt. Fuji — on a clear day, you can see the mountain from almost anywhere in town. It’s very close to Mt. Fuji and other nearby attractions, making it a great base for exploring the area. I actually prefer staying in Fujiyoshida over Kawaguchiko because it’s less crowded but just as convenient and scenic.

Shizuoka is a hidden gem.

Shizuoka is a hidden gem. You can stay here and get to many sightseeing destinations by rail (day trips) and come back to the relaxation of more laidback location. Locals are very pleasant and friendly, not so jaded by the over tourism of Kyoto and Osaka. We speak very limited Japanese, but were welcomed and managed in small local restaurants and Izakayas.
