Ryokan a Iwakuni

Joan Stati Uniti

We had a huge room with a view of the Kintai Bridge, Kikko Park, and the Castle. The actual bedroom with western beds could be blocked off from the rest of the room by shoji screens. There was a sitting area with a low table where your tea service and cookies were replenished every day. There is also an alcove right next to the window with a small table where you could work. There is a large dressing area right outside the toilet room and bath/shower/sink area. There is plenty of room for your luggage. The tatami mats provided a nice fragrance. The hotel offers smaller rooms for businessmen. The public baths were clean with 2 inside pools and 2 outside pools with tranquil scenery. The breakfast buffet offers western and Japanese dishes ranging from eggs, bacon, toast and croissants to local Iwakuni dishes, broiled fish, nato, rolled eggs, ochazuke, salads, and fruit to name a few things. Tea, coffee, milk, and juices were also offered. It was hard not to overeat. The kaiseki dinners were wonderful. Starters, sashimi, grilled oysters, shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, tempura, puffer fish sashimi were among the stand outs.
