Independent Kaminoseki hotels

"Great food for the breakfast "

"Being able to stay in a Japanese traditional small home with ALL modern accessories in a totally walkable castle town without overwhelming crowds is something special. The staff is very accommodating, the included breakfast and optional dinner are excellent. And the several touristic sites, including two villas and gardens, as well as the castle are worth the visit."

"A unique hotel made of shipping containers placed side by side in a parking lot. Very efficient, clean, and well maintained. "

"Staff is friendly, and the rooms are clean, comfortable and affordable. Extremely convenient and highly recommend."

"Route Inn hotels always have the most helpful staff. Really liked them. The room was nice. Breakfast was exceptionally good. "

"Right in front of train station "

"Clean, close to the JR train station, nice free breakfast, and helpful staff."

"This was by far the nicest room/resort we have stayed in. After being cramped in many Japanese hotels and ryokans, this was much much larger with three queen/full size beds, a 65" TV and an outdoor bath (mineral salts available in the lobby). However, please understand that as this location is very remote, dining options in the area and transportation may be limited. This may be why we didn't see any foreigners there? However, they do provide pick-up service to and from the Shin-Iwakuni station depending on the room you're staying in given you contact them at least three days in advance. Although our Shinkansen was unexpectedly delayed by two hours due to rain/lightning, they patiently waited for our arrival and did not leave us stranded. Perhaps the only downside was that we only stayed two nights as I felt we could've done with some more downtime and taking advantage of the amenities including the bikes and SUPs. I hope to return again soon, staying for a longer time next time. Thank you Marissa Resort for giving us an incredible and memorable vacation!"

"Check-in time is from 15:00, but the public bath is open from17:00."
