Royal Garden Hotel

I stayed here during my motorcycle pilgrimage trip. The accommodation is attached to a super public bath, and I received a free admission ticket as a guest, which allowed me to relax and soothe my tired body from the journey. The staff were kind and welcoming, which made me very happy. (It was raining that day, so I was soaking wet—apologies for showing up in such a messy state despite wiping off as much as I could.) There is a large manga shelf near the front desk with not old-fashioned works but new and famous titles, which I found impressive. Although there are only a few machines available, the laundry facilities were very helpful. While I didn’t have much time to relax during my trip, the stylish courtyard and beautiful lobby seemed perfect for parties or photo shoots. Thank you also for letting me park my motorcycle under the eaves where it wouldn’t get wet from the rain!

Used as accommodation for the Bekkaku 20 Pilgrimage. Despite being late March, it was a surprisingly cold day, but the large public bath was available, which helped relieve my fatigue. I slept very well.
