Toriimae Station × Movie Viewing AccommodationHighly rated for rooms and amenities at Hotel·Ryokan

The moment we arrived, my first thought was, “This is even more like a love hotel than I imagined!” When we entered the building, we didn’t understand the system, so we called a staff member using the phone at the front desk. That was the only person we met during our one-night stay. The bathroom has a jacuzzi and a spacious washing area, and you can even watch movies on the TV. I’m usually picky about pillows, but the bed was very comfortable. The drinks in the fridge were cheaper than at other Hotels. The amenities were surprisingly luxurious for these days—the body towel felt great to use, the toothbrushes were good quality, and there was even a ReFa hair dryer plus a hair iron! For breakfast I chose the BLT sandwich; it was delicious and came with coffee. It’s easy to access by car, and places like Toshodaiji Temple and Horyuji Temple were close by for sightseeing the next day. The price was low so I had no expectations at all, but it exceeded them in a great way!! It honestly felt more all-inclusive than the all-inclusive Accommodation we stayed at the next day (lol). Checkout is easy too. If I have another chance, I’d love to stay here again.

Everything was well provided, which was very helpful. The room was clean, the bathroom was easy to use, and it was comfortable. There was also a coin laundry and an ice machine with disposable paper cups. A phone charger was available as well. It was very convenient. The amenities such as the bed and TV were also comfortable. Several Hotel staff members were kind and helpful, and I would like to stay again.

We stayed with our dog. Even though he must have been tired from the long trip, as soon as we arrived at the traditional house he happily ran around the hallway and quickly made himself at home. Being able to sleep in the same space as our dog was very reassuring for us as owners. They also provided food bowls and even additive-free treats, and we really appreciated the thoughtful attention for guests traveling with dogs. Our dog doesn’t usually eat many treats, but he seemed to love these and happily munched them up! There was also a dedicated waste bin for pets, so disposing of trash was never an issue. The traditional Japanese atmosphere unique to an old house was wonderful, and the living room was a very relaxing space. Watching our dog stretch out and enjoy himself, we were able to slowly recover from travel fatigue as well. It was a very comfortable Accommodation where you can stay with your dog with peace of mind.

I stayed for three nights to visit the Expo. It was mid-September, and I paid just under 7,000 yen per night. The Hotel is close to the station, has a large public bath, and the breakfast was quite delicious. Although it is far from the city center, it is a highly valuable Hotel depending on your purpose, and I would like to stay again. Honestly, the women's public bath is small with only four washing stations, but I had it all to myself during my stay.
