Hotel Rivage Akebono

Everything was great! Although it was a smoking Room, there was no odor and the Room was clean. The large public bath was excellent as well. We stayed during the Obon holiday so it was crowded, but the staff were very helpful. The only downside was that we couldn’t get a mobile signal in the Room, but Wi‑Fi was available so it wasn’t a problem.

My travel style has changed: I now leave my car at the Hotel and get around by public transportation more often, and this trip was the same. I was a little worried that the Hotel might be a bit far from the station, but it turned out to be closer than expected, and I enjoyed stopping by shops along the way. Since it was hot for several days in a row, there were times when I refreshed myself with the cold water or coffee at the front desk before heading back to my Room. I really appreciated that.The Room had enough space to open my suitcase, so I could relax comfortably. There was also a large mirror right by the door, which made the Room feel more spacious.The large public bath was great as well. Since I could check how crowded it was on the website, it was nice to go at a quieter time and soak slowly. The free massage chairs in the changing area were also a pleasant bonus.The staff were very friendly, and I had a comfortable stay throughout. It’s been a while since I found such an excellent Hotel. I’d love to stay here again. Thank you very much.
