The hotel is a bit old but still well-maintained. I stayed on the high floor and could enjoy the breathtaking view of the Akashi Bridge. Room size is reasonable. I had the beef set dinner, which kept me busy putting meat and veggies on the stone grill. Breakfast was buffet with french toast. One drawback is that the public bath was closed. I walked 15 min. to Taihei no Yu but it's fine to walk after the dinner.

You can see the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge from your room.If you're lucky, you might be able to capture the bridge, ship, plane, and train all in one photo.Even on the top floor, you can enjoy dinner while looking at the night view. The illumination was also beautiful.The breakfast was a buffet, and local ingredients such as whitebait and onions were also used.The parking lot is a self-propelled multi-storey parking lot.

I have stayed here for 6 days and am flying back to Texas today.This has been, by far, the best hotel stay of my life! And I have traveled the world for business for a large part of my career. The entire staff is absolutely incredible! I was treated so kindly, and with much respect, even though I don't speak the language. Only skoh shee. I highly recommend this hotel and please dine in at all the restaurants! Every single one of the staff at all the restaurants were INCREDIBLE! I look forward to returning next year.

It's a fairly large hotel. So, I guess it can't be helped that the baths are far away depending on the room...Also, considering the size of the room, the breakfast hall and baths are small...The rooms with a view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge are quite nice.The breakfast buffet had a good impression, with a lot of variety and a good regional flavor. The others are fair to bad.

There is also a pool, which is recommended for families with small children. A pool usage fee of 500 yen is required. It's a nice hotel with very caring staff. Breakfast is a buffet.

We stayed here and had a wedding ceremony about 23 years ago. I mentioned this in the email we exchanged during our stay, but nothing was mentioned about it in the email or on the day...I'm a little disappointed.Also, I'm thankful that there's an extension cord next to the bed, but if you move it a little, there's a lot of dust and dirt...and there's even a hair in the bathtub. I want to erase all my memories here. Akashi Ohashi Bridge was beautiful both in the past and now.
