Independent Niiya hotels

"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."

"Not many hotels in Yawatahama, but this one is clean, nice, and has good service. Walking distance to the ferry. "

"Walls are thin. Everything else is great. Staff is fantastic. "
