Iwakuni Kokusai Kanko Hotel

I loved everything about the Kokusai Kanko hotel. My room faced the beautiful Kentai bridge and the amazing hillside scenery. I used the onsen at least twice a day and it was absolutely blissful and recharged my soul. The breakfast had many options and I always selected the Japanese specific cuisine which left me satiated but not bloated like most western breakfasts. The room was always clean and had everything I needed. Would like to come back on a non-business trip and explore the area more in-depth! Thank you to thr wonderful staff who made my stay so memorable!

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.

Wonderful staff and comfortable room. Food was great, including the breakfast buffet which had a great selection of dishes. Location could not be better: close to bus station, great views of the river, bridge, and castle. Onsen was lovely, especially at night.

View from the sleeping room and the dinner room direcly to the famous Kintai-bashi. Exceptionally. Rotemburo on the roof with view either to the castle or the the famous bridge. Exceptionally. Very friendly staff. Good food. Large buffet for breakfast.

Excellent staff with warm and attentive service; perfect location; spacious room; beautiful onsen facing Kintaikyo bridge.
