Ibigawa Vacation Packages

I travel 11 hours to Japan, got to the hotel day refuse checking me in

I have stayed at this hotel three times now, in the last three years, coming to Nagoya on my yearly Japanese vacation. The hotel is located in Sakae near a lot of shopping and restaurants, while being within walking distance of attractions like Osu Shotengai shopping street and Osu Kannon Temple. The breakfast buffet is first-rate with a lot of Japanese options as well as Western fare for the unadventurous. The staff is extremely polite, kind, and helpful as well as being very professional. I stayed on the executive floor this time so I had access to the executive lounge with free drinks and snacks as well as free health club access. However, I have tattoos so was unable to use the facilities. I think my only complaint would be to relax the standards for tattoos, but I understand the policy due to the clientele they serve so I was not too bent out of shape about it. There are different cultural rules and expectations in Japan and I happily follow them while I am here since I am not an overzealous traveler that expects the world to bend to favour my Western ways and behaviours. I come to Japan to experience their culture and not enforce mine.

Spacious and modern room.

One of my favorite hotels I’ve stayed at in Japan. Really cool place with amazing private amenities. Stayed here since it was close to a concert venue. Did not disappoint. The breakfast is a smaller kaiseki style meal. More traditional, may not suit everyone’s taste. But room service meals were also really good! Wanted something smaller to eat as late dinner. Would definitely stay here again if I ever needed to be in the area.

Very nice hotel, great staff.

The hotel was very clean and the staff was incredibly kind! The one concern I have is regarding their smoking vs non smoking rooms. A friend booked a non-smoking room, which it was, however, it seemed like half of the floor was smoking and the other half not. The floor reeked of second hand smoke and it could be smelled through the room, though less potent. It was pretty potent. I would encourage the hotel to make the entire floor non smoking or figure out a way to fix the smell of the second hand smoke.

Very clean, very accomdating, and great location!
