Watarai District Vacations & Trips from $1,235

The lobby looked very nice, but the rooms felt outdated, more like a 70’s style, which was a bit disappointing. However, the location was convenient — close to fun places like the Owl Café and a matcha course.

The hotel is 15min walk from the main Nagoya JR station (restaurants, department stores etc).

This may be the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed at. Bamboo and a Zen garden in front, a pond in the rear with a view of a lush hillside topped by a castle . Adjacent to the large Urakuen garden. Rooms and lobby decorated in the most tasteful manner. Staff gave excellent service. Adjacent to a river walk and in walking distance to one of the oldest castles in Japan, a large Shinto Shrine, a historic castle street, and a railway station.

I like the room because it was clean and feels upgraded. Front desk staff speaks perfect English which made communication much easier.

Great location, views. Modern cool rooms. Sauna, amenities are top notch. Average breakfast, or at least not memorable.
