Iwakuni Kokusai Kanko Hotel

It¿s my first time staying in a Japanese style hotel. I love it. The Staff was really friendly and helpful above and beyond expectations.

There is no mix bath tub so the family can enjoy it together.

Beautiful location, views. and staff. I loved the electric bicycles available for guests to use. Gift shop was cute and great shop for a snack or souvenir. Loved the hot baths, bathing areas. The room was very nice, linens all were ironed and well cared for. Robes were used and enjoyed.

Rugs/ carpets needed cleaning throughout the hotel, the room we stayed in had four walls around the Western beds and the top edge of the walls was a dust haven.I would have appreciated more information in English.

We had a room with the private bath and it was amazing. The forest view out the back was very relaxing. Also this hotel is less than a block form the famous bridge and just across the river from the tram and castle. It was lovely to see the bridge during sunset as we ate dinner and then be close enough to walk to the castle prior to checkout in the morning. Also the style inside is very cool and retro!

Everything, in particular the free onsen and spa.

The Sakura restaurant (both at dinner and breakfast) was below expectation

Lovely location by the Kintaikyo bridge. Friendly attentive staff. Very comfortable bed. I got dinner included in my booking which was a 10 course kaiseki, I didn't like everything I had but it was a nice experience all the same.

The decor is quite dated in the rooms. The value for money here isn't great but for a night I think it's still worth staying if you're visiting Iwakuni for the Kintaikyo bridge and surrounding area.

Location. Friendliness. Onsen.

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!

Convenient locationGood breakfastHelpful staff Clean room, comfortable bed

Very good selection of food for breakfast Clean room and Comfortable bed Friendly and helpful staff

Located right in front of the iconic Kintai Bridge. Great outdoor onsen. Staff members were cheerful and helpful

Food was just average.

Beautiful view at breakfast, and a fairly epic and grand lobby. I enjoyed the giftshop in the lobby, also, which made souvenir shopping easy.

The twin room was very spacious and comfortable. Dinner was superb, even though the choice was limited to 3 set courses. Breakfast was a mix of Japanese and Western buffet. The location is great, with views of Kintaikyo from the restaurant.

The breakfast had a good selection.

The Kokusai set menu meal was very ordinary with ice cold sashimi and bland offerings. The Chawanmushi was nice. You are better off ordering a la carte or pre book Teppanyaki well in advance. We tried to upgrade to a Teppanyaki meal but this was too difficult at 2:00pm for that evening's meal. Everything else was fine.

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.

A bit expensive.

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.

An oddly stained carpet did not seem in sync with the otherwise wonderful room.

Very kind helpful staffTraditional foodGreat view and location

It was a great experience

I got the room with a view of the building's roof. I don't mind not seeing the Kintai bridge but not being able to see anything is a bit sad. If our window we clear of obstacles, it would have been perfect.

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

The private onsen in our room was superb. Dinner and breakfast was very delicious showing Yamaguchi prefecture dishes

The main staff of the hotel was amazing and helpful. I am still struggling to learn Japanese, but they managed to come over with good enough english to overcome the language barriers. It is not only within walking distance from the Kintaikyo Bridge, the focus of my visit, it is just across the street. The bus from Iwakuni station is just across the block. Room was larger than expected, separate toilet and shower was a plus and allowed for more free space into the actual room, a usually overlooked value of a good architect. Breakfast was plentiful, varied and delicious. It was the most comfortable bed of the travel so far, having stayed in 5 other hotels in Japan this month. I felt truly welcomed most times (look into what I didn't like for the one exception).

The Second Floor Restaurant. For a hotel of this price range and desired excellence, even if most of its patronage is chinese and japanese, having english speaking staff makes the difference. The language barrier was impossible to overcome and made for a poor dining experience.
