This hotel is exceptional. Brilliant room and very helpful staff. Good laundry facility. Really close to the Onsen and hotel guests get a 100 yen reduction in cost for entry. A good selection of snacks also. May have been the first Kiwi to visit!

Wonderful small inn in Sasayama, a not very touristy castle town in the hills in Hyogo. I wanted to visit because it is a pottery area but could not find suitable accommodation near the potteries which are about 5km by road from JR Kusano. You still can buy lots of ceramics in Sasayama though, and there are a studio or two but no climbing kilns etc. Anyway, I really liked Sasayama. Its a small town that receives visitors at weekends, mainly domestic visitors, and has a lot of wonderful traditional house accommodations, of which Oito is one. It is an old shop in Kawaramachi Merchant Street that was converted into a spacious cafe with two rooms. I really love the aesthetics of the place, very traditional building stripped back and renovated, with lots of dark wood handmade furniture and carefully chosen accessories, lots of ceramics from all over Japan. I had the cheaper room above the cafe, so you have to go up a small stair and you can hear the cafe but if did not bother me much since the cafe was relatively quiet, and opened from about 9.00-17.00. Room was huge, I could look down Kawaramachi from my bed, and it was so comfortable and beautiful. Staff were lovely too, they gave me so many nice tips and rented a bicycle which was great for cycling all over Sasayama which is a bit spread out. The number of cafes and concept stores for such a small rural town is astonishing.

Our stay was genuinely enjoyable thanks to a mix of thoughtful amenities and charming design. - The location was incredibly convenient - perfect for exploring the area and just a short walk to the nearby onsen. - The building itself has a cool heritage vibe, beautifully maintained and full of character. - Our room was both private and spacious, offering a level of comfort that made it easy to relax - Parking was a breeze: all-day access for just 1000 yen, and the hotel even arranged pickup and drop-off from the carpark. - The staff were fantastic - friendly and proactive. They helped us arrange luggage delivery to our next hotel, which made our travel much smoother.

    I stayed for one night in early May. Would have stayed for longer if I could do it again. The hotel location is perfect, right on the Meriken Park. It offers a breathtaking view at night. Arriving by foot was a little bit awkward, having to pass the parking lot before reaching the entrance. It's clearly made with car/taxi arrival in mind. The way was clearly indicated, so not really a negative. The room was immense and very elegantly furnished. Some may find the furniture a little dated, but I love this style. Fancy restaurants and stores on the main floor (café Camelia has amazing cakes). Sadly, I had not enough time to enjoy all the facilities the hotel has to offer. Breakfast is served in a really ample room, so it doesn't feel too crowded even with the high amount of people present. Variety is astounding and everything tasted good.

    Initially email communication was misleading , you actually don’t need to request for shuttle fr the San Bandai bus from Osaka. The airport shuttle stops n pickup from there. We stayed 2 nights, no need to book private, the 9Fand B2 baths were great, the interactive Kaiseri dinners were excellent, the breakfast was so good, we skipped lunch both days. Spouse making plans to go back next year. We requested the Japanese style rooms and enjoyed it despite tough getting up fr the floor due to my titanium knees

Amenities were high quality and skin care lotions all provided for a full onsen and ryokan experience. Yakatas were beautiful and sizes for whole family. We really enjoyed the traditional Japan experience and beautiful tatami room with amazing view of the mountains. We wanted to stay another night.

    Kobe is a great city to visit. A vibrant, buzzing and cosmopolitan city with memorable features such as the ropeway to the herb garden at the JR Shin Kobe Station at Sannomiya (an absolute must for visitors), the Maya cable car and ropeway and the Akashi bridge to Awaji Island.

    After staying in Kyoto, it was refreshing to stay in a smaller, quieter city for a couple of days. Himeji, had ample malls and restaurants to satisfy the needs of all tourists and yet has a nice small city feel. We saw the castle in the afternoon, and didn't encounter large crowds. The Koko-en Garden was relatively quiet when we saw it in the morning.

    Amagasaki is a great 'real' town so close to Osaka, but with its own character. We saw a diverse mix of people from all walks of life. Working class, business people, skateboarders, old people playing ukelele in the park. There is a nice old shopping street which is not to be missed. Some good old 'Showa' era coffee shops. We didn't get to do half the things we planned. Will be back!

    I visited the theme park Nijigen No Morii with Naruto and Dragonquest Island and both was amazing. Ill definitely come Back to the Park. It's a bit tricky to get around with the local (limited) buses as there run only about once every hour so a rental car ist the better option. From Iwaya Port theres a Shuttle bus to Nijigen No Morii and the hello Kitty sites, it's free and stops on a couple of sites along the route. The Shuttle operates from 10am to 9pm.

    Located in Hyogo Prefecture along the Seto Inland Sea,...

    Located in Hyogo Prefecture along the Seto Inland Sea, Akashi is a charming coastal city known for its outstanding seafood and relaxed atmosphere. While it may not be as famous as nearby Kobe or Osaka, Akashi offers a deliciously authentic experience that’s hard to beat. One of the city’s signature dishes is Akashiyaki—soft, egg-rich dumplings filled with tender octopus. Unlike Osaka’s takoyaki, Akashiyaki is gently dipped in warm dashi broth, highlighting the freshness of the seafood. Akashi is especially known for its high-quality octopus (madako). Thanks to the area’s fast tidal currents, the octopus here grows firm and flavorful, making it a prized ingredient across Japan. Local fish markets also showcase an incredible selection of fresh anago (conger eel) and Akashi-dai (sea bream), straight from the surrounding waters. Whether you enjoy sushi, grilled fish, or something uniquely local, Akashi will leave you more than satisfied. It’s the perfect spot for travelers who want to explore Japan’s culinary diversity beyond the big cities. Discover Akashi—where the sea meets tradition, and every bite tells a story.

    Kobe is known for Kobe Beef.

    Kobe is known for Kobe Beef. Unfortunately this highly priced wagyu is exported to 5 star hotels, top restaurants in Kyoto and Tokyo, or overseas. Sad that many of the wagyu restaurants are not serving the famed high-end Kobe wagyu. It is busy metropolis, but less crowded than nearby Osaka. As the city is built on hills and mountains, the local hiking culture and sudden panoramic views are both delights. There is not much in terms of local culture or cuisine, besides some western influence as shown in the architecture of few buildings and an abundance of pâtissiers.

    Great city.

    Great city. I enjoyed visiting this city, especially the Himeji Castle. This was the third times I visit Himeji Castle. Public transportation was convenient. I would recommend spending at least two full days at this city.
