Kure Old Naval Port

Great location close to transpiration and writhing walking distance of the Peace Memorial Park and the massive Hondori Shopping Street. Room was as expected for Japan, on the small size but bed was comfortable and our room was slightly larger than most of the double rooms so we could have our suitcase open. Bathroom was a bit tight and there were not as many toiletries provided as other hotels. Beware that the tub bottom is slippery and the side is very tall so it takes some agility to climb in and out for a shower. Daily cleaning was nice and we enjoyed extra pillows and towels upon demand. Breakfast is very Japanese with a lot of variety but may not meet western definition of ‘breakfast’

We stayed at the Azumi for one night. After a dreary day of cycling, we were looking forward to some pampering. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. The room was gorgeous - large and serene with nice appointments like a shoe dryer for wet days (genius!). The food at the on-site restaurant is very good.
