Кобе

It's artificial snow, but we had a lot of fun. You must bring your own snow play equipment. Purchasing it on-site is expensive, starting from 1500 yen. We also enjoyed sledding a lot. There was only one ski slope. I was surprised to see so many foreigners. There were no issues with etiquette, and we were able to enjoy ourselves without worry.

Was contacted the day before the tour to confirm the meeting place and guide contact details. Driver was steady and careful and our friendly guide Iris took great care to make sure that everyone was accounted for and was very accommodating. Great experience!

Tour Guide Karin was Super! She was very friendly and guided us well. we all had a fun day at the snow park..

Convenient transportation, small but complete. The place is clean, with self-service check-in/check-out, and the staff provides good service. The hotel does not have its own parking lot, but parking at a designated nearby parking lot is cheaper (¥1,500 until 11 am). However, if you leave by 8 am, overnight parking nearby would actually be cheaper. The only downside is that the room is too small to open two medium-sized suitcases.

The hotel front desk is on the second floor. The rooms are clean, the hair dryer has good power, and the bathroom is spacious with a bathtub for soaking. The bed is comfortable, and any toiletries you forgot to bring can be freely obtained opposite the front desk, which is very convenient. There's enough space in the room to store two suitcases. It's a 3-5 minute walk to the commercial street and an 8-10 minute walk to the train station.

Этот отель сильно отличается от тех, в которых я останавливался раньше. Он расположен в порту Кобе и внешне напоминает круизный лайнер. В номерах есть балконы, с которых можно любоваться видом на порт. Окна нашего номера выходили на торговый центр MOSAIC, рядом с которым находится колесо обозрения, которое каждый вечер демонстрирует различные световые узоры. Здесь, возвращаясь отдохнуть, мы садились и спокойно любовались огнями! Номер чистый и просторный, а туалетные принадлежности - собственного производства отеля, и если они вам понравятся, их можно приобрести в магазине внизу. Проснувшись утром, можно насладиться богатым завтраком. Предлагается шведский стол с широким выбором блюд западной и японской кухни. Ресторан очень красивый, мне особенно понравились гамбургеры с говядиной и вафли, которые готовят на заказ. Также есть автомат для свежевыжатого апельсинового сока и красочная витрина с пончиками. Кроме того, есть собственная парковка (плата взимается за каждую ночь, оплата производится на стойке регистрации в вестибюле при выезде). Для путешественников без автомобиля предлагается бесплатный автобус между отелем и центром города. Надеюсь, у меня будет возможность остановиться здесь снова!

The room is tidy and has a natural hot spring, with 8 different pillow options to choose from. It's quite busy with check-ins during Osaka Expo. The breakfast is delicious, and you can take a bus right to the front door.

Overall, everything was great – the transportation, service, location, cleanliness, breakfast, etc. The only downside was that it took a little while to find the entrance to the upper floors, especially since the front desk is on the 17th floor. 😅

The hotel service was good. The hotel is located next to the side gate of Ikuta Shrine, in a quiet environment, and the massage was also good. Free coffee is provided in the hotel lobby on the 1st floor. The room can accommodate a suitcase size of 24-26 inches, and you can see Ikuta Shrine directly from the room window. During my stay, many international tourists were staying at the hotel. It is not far from various subway lines, and you can find various restaurants, drugstores, etc. in the surrounding area (breakfast was not used this time).
