Experience of the stay
Good points: Hospitality, view from the lobby
Concerns: None in particular
Recommendation: ★★★★★ (5 stars)
I stayed at the Oriental Hotel Kobe, which I had been unable to visit due to timing. Opened in 1870, this Oriental Hotel is said to be Japan's first hotel. Historical materials are displayed throughout the hotel, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The hospitality was also excellent, and I felt it is a hotel you should stay at at least once.
Experiences during the trip
The purpose of my stay this time was the Luminarie. The hotel is located right in the center of the venue, and I was able to access several lighting venues on foot. I recommend it for viewing the Luminarie.
