Experience of the stay
The hotel is new, so everything is beautiful. The entrance lobby immediately offers a view of the National Treasure Inuyama Castle, which is uplifting.
Free parking and decent access by Meitetsu train are also plus points. It's close to Nagoya.
I highly recommend the breakfast here, especially the croissants. They were large and delicious, and when I asked if they were sold separately, I was told they are available for pre-order. They must be popular!
Perhaps due to the previous presence of Meitetsu hotels, the guest demographic tends to be older. Since it is also part of the IHG group, there are many foreigners. While wandering around Inuyama Castle, I noticed more young people, which gives the impression that Inuyama is lively.
Experiences during the trip
Guests can access the nearby garden, and I went there during my stay. It's okay to use the paper case of the card key even after checkout (for a fee of 1,200 yen).
It’s a bit of a walk from the hotel, but definitely visit Inuyama Castle. The view from the main keep makes you feel like a lord. The handrails are low, so it might be a bit scary for those who are not fond of heights. The castle town has plenty of street food options.
About ten minutes by car, there is a somewhat surreal shrine called 'Momotaro Shrine.' It might be worth visiting at least once.
