Experience of the stay
As you enter the hotel lobby, Inuyama Castle is right in front of you.
Guests can enter Yu Rakuen for free♪
The atmosphere is calm, and there is a gym and an onsen.
Additionally, there is a French bakery & cafe "Gontran Cherrier" where you can buy croissants and kouign-amann♡
I was able to reserve and purchase them, so they're also recommended as souvenirs.
The croissants are available at the breakfast buffet and half-buffet.
I didn't use it, but tuk-tuk rentals are also available, which seem convenient for sightseeing.
Be sure to check the hotel’s website.
Experiences during the trip
HAU, a shaved ice shop near Inuyama Yuen Station.
Within walking distance from Inuyama Castle and the hotel♪
An apprentice of the famous Gifu shop "Chaya Akawani."
It became my favorite shaved ice.
Unfortunately, due to continued manners violations by some visitors, it seems they made the decision to close by the end of October 2024, causing inconvenience to the nearby residents.
I hope to visit again if they reopen somewhere.
Inuyama Castle, the oldest existing wooden castle tower in Japan, had beautiful weather and a stunning view.
I gave up on exploring the castle town due to the heat, but the lovely atmosphere seemed perfect for a food stroll.
Nearby the hotel is Petit Verdot, a French restaurant with great cost performance.
Reservations are essential as it's a popular spot.
