Hotels With Breakfast in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan

It is a bit surprising and disappointing that there is no coin laundry (laundry) facility in the hotel. It is the newest building in the area, so the facilities are clean and good. As shown in the attached photo, the hotel is on the 6th floor. As expected from a hot spring village, the large bath is said to be 100% heated, non-salted water. The water is good. Even just taking a bath costs 1,500 yen, but I used it for 70,000 won per night for 2 nights and 3 days from Monday to Tuesday, so I am satisfied. I do not recommend breakfast, but they also provide the famous dish Kawarasoba for dinner, so I recommend it if you want to eat it once. The cost is 4,950 yen. Check-in is at 4 p.m., but unlike other hotels, they are not very flexible, and if there is a vacancy, they will help you check in from 3 p.m. This is the best advantage. There is a Lawson convenience store right in front, and next to it is a tourist information center, foot bath, and potable hot water, so it is the best location. If you walk about 15 minutes towards Yamaguchi, you will find NHK and the central park is pleasant and nice.

I visited Shin-Yamaguchi after a few days in Fukuoka. The weather was still cold, and it rained a little. From the station, just cross the street, and you’ll arrive at the hotel. It’s about a three-minute walk if you have luggage. Next to the hotel, there’s a 7-Eleven and many izakayas. The manager greeted me warmly, and the staff were extremely friendly. They would greet guests as they walked in, making me feel very welcome. Welcome drinks and coffee are available until midnight—I loved their lemon water! You can also use the library/cafeteria for work or reading, which is quite convenient. Amenities are placed on the first floor next to the elevator. Breakfast tickets are available, with multiple time slots to choose from. The room size is big for the price. The bathroom is compact, but I had no issues enjoying a bath. The only inconvenience was the lack of a remote control to adjust the air-conditioner’s wind direction. There are two washing machines and two dryers on the fourth floor, both of which can be connected via an app. If you don’t have coins, you can pay through the app with a credit card, and it will show a timer for when your laundry is done. The washing machine is easy to use, but the dryer took a bit long. Ice is also available on this floor. There are no complimentary bottled waters in the room, so I often went down to the first floor for lemon water and coffee. Breakfast was more abundant than I expected. Since this is a chain hotel, I didn’t expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised by the selection. The menu seemed to change daily, and I really enjoyed having breakfast here. Definitely worth the price. If I visit Yamaguchi again, I would definitely book this hotel!

This was a good option if you want to visit the fish market and walk through the underground pedestrian tunnel. It is located near the metro and a bus station is located out front that will take you to the locations. A mall is located next to the hotel which has plenty of eating options. Room was small but very clean. Very helpful front desk. Good option.

The hotel parking space, is outsourced to park in another place, we arrived at 3:30 pm, saw a parking space but the staff said there was someone parked, just out! But the outsourced parking space has a time limit, not self-in, in addition to the time clock, if there is an option, the hotel's own parking lot is much more convenient! Every time there is no parking space, but the hotel hot spring is on the 10th floor, you can see the sea view, is my most reminiscent! Guests are not crowded, very comfortable, everyone can enjoy quietly!

Toyoko Inn Iwakuni is centrally located in Iwakuni. Exterior is very easy to recognise due to its iconic paintwork. It’s a new hotel so amenities and room feels very good. Bed is also comfortable. It was easy to get a good night rest. Highly recommended.

Emm ok

The facilities were old, but the room was very clean. The staff at the front desk and in the dining area were very kind. I called the front desk to confirm check-in time, but they were short-staffed and did not answer, but other than that it was perfect. I stayed alone on business. My reservation for one person was not communicated, so I was charged the hot spring tax for two people. When I explained the situation, they corrected it to one person, but I would have liked them to respond more clearly based on the guest name at the time of booking. There is a problem with trip.com's reservation specifications and I would like them to improve it.

The price/performance ratio is very high. The room is a bit old, but it does not affect the experience. The hot spring is very comfortable.

The hotel is located really close to Shimonoseki station. The room is clean. The front desk staffs both night shift and morning shift are friendly. I arrived the hotel around 10PM so there weren’t many restaurants that still open at that hour. I had to walk a bit far for a convenient store. But I really enjoyed spending the night there!

After enjoying the hot springs that evening, we enjoyed a kaiseki meal—Yamaguchi Prefecture's famous fugu cuisine. 😋 It was our first time eating fugu. They had fugu sashimi, a small hot pot, fugu chawanmushi, and small fugu tempura. 😅 The waiters were very attentive, explaining the ingredients and cooking methods for each dish so we could savor the flavors. It was much better than our previous experiences at other hot spring inns. A big plus! 👍
