Hotels near Kido Shrine, Yamaguchi

The first time I stayed here was on a business trip a couple of years ago. The room was very old, dirty and smelly as it used to be a smoking room. I vowed never to stay there again. Fast forward to this week. Another business trip stay and I reluctantly agreed to stay there as everywhere else was fully booked. I was assured I had a Non-Smoking room. It was not. It was a disgustingly yellow, musty and grimy ****hole of a room! Just stepping out of the elevator, you are greeted with an absolutely disgusting stench from the hallway carpet that has gone from a light blue to a dark murky looking grey, I assume from never being cleaned/shampooed. The room upon entering was no better and I almost threw up, no kidding! The toilet/bathroom has a strip of paper with the word 'Sanitised' on it, on the toilet seat lid. The toilet itself had dark grey stripes inside the bowl. The shower curtain was speckled with mold and the light fixture had dust and lord knows what hanging off it! In the bedroom, the air vent was full of years worth of dust, and it showed on the ceiling with the stripes of grime blasted on the paper. The bedroom carpet was marginally better than the hallway one, but smelled almost as bad. Walls were covered in dirt and dust, with some areas showing peeling paper. The bed covers had HOLES in them!! I dared not sleep inside the bed itself and used the bath towel to lay down on. Upon returning late at night to my home the next day, my wife commented how she could still smell the place on my suit, which I have opted to trash rather than clean, and other clothing items are now soaking overnight to kill off any potential bugs. This hotel used to be a lovely place many many years ago, but it seems neither management nor owners, give a crap about the upkeep of the place. Old fixtures, dirty everything and a stench so bad you wouldn't want your worst enemy to stay there! The one saving grace is the breakfast menu was fresh and plentiful. If I could rate this place any lower, I would. I do NOT RECOMMEND staying here - EVER! Advice to management/owners: CLEAN YOUR HOTEL, UPGRADE EVERYTHING, Trash or BURN every single piece of bed linen, curtains, shower curtains and mattresses as well as that DISGUSTING EXCUSE OF A CARPET! Spend some MONEY ON YOUR BUSINESS! If it was up to me, you'd be SHUT DOWN as a HEALTH HAZARD! My wife and I (Japanese) will be finding out what we can do to report your overpriced ****HOLE and have you do something about it! The pictures I have provided do not show half the story - I have video too and will be happy to share!

It’s an old shop. The female players perform very hard at night. The decorations in the shop are very textured. I happened to meet the female shop owner and introduced various crafts enthusiastically. I also bought the special handicraft camellia.

　Close distance from the station 200m. Take dinner at a tavern in front of the station and buy it at a nearby convenience store and check in. The room is relatively relaxing and WIFI complete, but it is a pity that it is not a washlet. After that, it was an ordinary business hotel. It was a cheap hotel with breakfast at less than 5000 yen.

Near the station Free to sleep with elementary school students Breakfast is very cheap and the cost performance is the best. I stayed to catch a plane from Ube Airport in the early morning. Just before, I should have been at Ube hotel, not this hotel in Shin Yamaguchi! I thought, but I thought it was comfortable when I stayed and it was good to be this hotel. Breakfast was usually from 6:30 and I gave up not to eat, but when I checked in, I was told that I would open from 6 o'clock tomorrow and I was able to receive it. Because breakfast was free, I didn't expect it, but it was very delicious. The staff also answered me very politely. The room is simple, easy to use and I would like to use it again.

The building seems to be quite aging, and the facility itself is not a hotel, but a very convenient hotel for training and students to stay in a group. The staff have a local goodness, and I don't want a sophisticated hotel treatment, but I can feel good honesty. If you can't use it even if you have a breakfast ticket because the breakfast business time is late, you can take out sandwiches and orange juice at the front desk. I was happy because it was very rare to have such a service. The difficulty is that the smell of the corridor on the room floor is amazing because of the old facilities. It smells like a locker in a sweaty room. I think the room is probably old style, not the standard after the 90s. I always feel humid, and I don't have a sheet or a towel. The most worrying thing was whether it was a sprinkler or a smoke detector, but it was rusty and it was working in an emergency. I thought I wouldn't be caught in the fire inspection.

　When you get off the Shinkansen at Shin-Yamaguchi and exit the Shinkansen exit, the Shinkansen exit of Toyoko Inn Shin-Yamaguchi Station, which is the place to stay on this day, is located nearby. The familiar Toyoko sign is very noticeable above the hotel, so anyone can easily see it. From the Shinkansen exit, I crossed the pedestrian crossing with a signal and arrived in １ minutes on foot. It is not a luxurious hotel because it is Toyoko Inn. But the building is bright, clean and kept clean. I was happy with the free breakfast, and the staff responded quickly and I liked it.

　There is a business trip to Hofu at a rate of about １ times a year, and at that time I stayed at this hotel almost. The main reason is that there is a good plan, a large bath. The room is ４１２. Because of the renovation, the shower room is clean and nice. Even if I entered the bed, the ceiling was clean and I could sleep comfortably. The TV remote control reaction was bad, but within acceptable range. There was also an air purifier and a reset, and the impression changed. When I first stayed, I thought about the feeling of separation. Breakfast ５００ yen character next to the front desk. Let's try it this time. 　 　

I forgot the converter adapter from AC to USB only by the mobile charging cable and went on a trip to ”youth １８”. I was happy to lend an adapter. The front desk was also very good. We also proposed a morning walk course. We went to the top of a small hill where we turned right at the end of the city hall. The city of Hofu was overlooked. SL was also exhibited on the way to the station. I was able to experience the fun of the trip and it became a good day start. Next time I want to bring my wife.

I stayed in a single room for 6 nights for my second stay following February of this year. The hotel has 5 floors and is a 15-minute walk from the south exit of Hofu Station (Aeon side). There is also a banquet hall, dining room and wedding hall. The elevator is in front of the front desk, the number of rooms is small and the security level is high. The interior of the hotel is gorgeous, and the greenery and flowers around the entrance (car) welcome you. The breakfast hall is closed due to the corona. [Guest rooms] Guest rooms are lined up on both sides of the east and west corridors on the 4th and 5th floors. Single (15㎡ 21 rooms) is on the north side where you can see the direction of Hofu Station, and twins (31㎡ 8 rooms, renewed) are on the south side where you can see the greenery of Kuwanoyama Park. There is no safe and there is a wardrobe with a door. Slippers are washed and recycled. Pajamas are a dress that can be tied with a string. (Bringing pajamas and trousers) Mineral water is prepared in the refrigerator. Wi-Fi (free connection) speed is fast. [Around] For meals, I used the family restaurant Joyful Hofu Station South store (open 24 hours) which is a 10-minute walk toward the station. (Parking lot) Between the south exit of Hofu Station and the hotel, there are Aeon Hofu store, JA direct sales office (morning city), banks, hospitals, camera kitamura, convenience stores, drugstores, and gas stations (rental car). On the north side, Hofu police station, Hofu City Hall, Hofu summary court, Hofu City Youth Science Museum, and the south side can be enjoyed to the top of the mountain (107 meters above sea level) at the Kuwayama Park. At Dairakuji Temple on the northwest side of Prefectural Hofu High School at the eastern foot of Kuwayama Park, there is a grave of Fumi Sugi (the younger sister of Shoin Yoshida) and her husband Motohiko Tori, the main character of the NHK taiga drama ”Hanamoyu”. In front of Shizuka Ijuin, a Naoki Prize writer from Hofu High School. His wife, Masako Natsume, is also sleeping.

The hot spring pool in Hagimotojin is interestingly designed. It is fun to soak in a circle of indoor, outdoor and semi-open air. After arriving at Tohagi Station, you can first store your luggage at the station desk. Please ask the staff to contact the hotel to take the luggage to the hotel. After you return from sightseeing, contact the hotel car to pick you up at the station (3:00 to 6:00 pm). The hotel has a car that allows you to go to the observation deck on the top of the mountain (880 yen). It feels good to soak your feet in front of the sunset over the Sea of ​​Japan.
