Experience of the stay
I stayed in Saijo, which is one of Japan's three major sake-producing regions.
So I went by car.
The parking lot was a cheap place about a 3-minute walk from the hotel.
The hotel itself shows its age, and the twin room is quite cramped with the beds almost next to each other.
It’s fine if you’re with family, but it might be awkward with friends.
Nevertheless, being a stable Daiwa Roynet hotel, it’s nice that the amenities are comprehensive.
The complimentary water service is very appreciated and helpful.
The water pressure in the bathroom is good, and the bathtub fills up quickly, which helps relieve fatigue.
The hotel’s location is also good, and booking through Hafu can be quite a bargain.
Experiences during the trip
I visited the sake breweries in Saijo on a Sunday, but several of them were closed.
I recommend going on Saturday instead.
Also, even though I bought a coupon, it was a bit pointless for me since I can't drink that much.
It's recommended for those who want to try sake at all the breweries.
