Hotel Indigo Inuyama Urakuen Garden by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel set the new standard for my wife to travel to Japan now. It is sit right below Inuyama castle and the hot spring is just perfect after all day out. It's garden (free with room key) is relaxing and tea ceremony (600Yen) was great. The hotel is well designed and the breakfast set (5000 pp) is well worth it. The staff is helpful for dinner reservation, taxi, or guide to local place. The hotel is 8 - 10 min walk to the Inuyama street where you can visit multiple shrines and walk to castle (worth it!). We spent the whole day in that area shopping, eating and take pics. The hotel is also great for pic as well; You can also travel from here to Gifu, Hide, and other area for day trip (note for the 15 min walk to train station or 1200 yen taxi) as it is closer than coming from Nagoya. This is definitely place that we will plan a return visit in future."
