4-Star Hotels in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan

I booked a small double room at Domi Shimonoseki more than three months in advance on Ctrip.com for one person. The hotel is very close to Shimonoseki Station. The transportation is also convenient. The room is clean. It is just right for one person, but a bit crowded for two people. Free ramen is served from 9:30 pm and is very delicious. Coffee and tea are served in the lobby. When I booked on Ctrip.com, the room was more than 400 yuan per room. When I checked online a week before the hotel, I found that it had risen to more than 700 yuan per room. I made a lot of money.

Service was really first rate. Despite our not speaking Japanese, the staff were always patient and helpful. They guided us in adapting to the Ryokan customs and provided very personalized service without being intrusive. The gardens and facilities are well maintained and create a serene experience.

It was an inn like a model of hospitality from picking up to sending. The customer service was very pleasant. I realized that the impression of the inn was ”person”. The room and bath were clean and nice, the interior of the restaurant was sophisticated and the drinks were substantial. I am surprised by the type of breakfast! It seems to be a bakery only in the bread corner. It was only 1 nights but I was able to relax from my heart. It is a very good inn. It is Lipi determination.

Unbeatable location with many rooms ( or all rooms) and public spaces facing Tsunoshima Bridge. Our room faced the ocean directly with no obstruction. The bath was also quite decent and the outdoor bath is next to the sea. You can enjoy the sound of the waves while bathing in the hot spa. It should be quite spectacular during sunset. The spa was probably renovated within the last 10 years as it was in good condition. The room , however, felt old and the corridor was damp. The carpet in the room felt damp and the room felt stuffy. The AC worked well and we turned it on high. Our triple room as spacious but I felt itchy the whole night while sleeping- although the sheets looked clean ( I slept on the added bed). The other two beds looked slumped in the middle. Bathroom also looked quite old( from the 70’s)? My room was at the far end wing and there were lots of stairs to walk up and down from the front desk which was on the third floor. The staff will help to bring the luggages to your room ( also at check out - just call). Hotel restaurant serves dinner buffet . If you are not interested, the hotel also has a list of restaurants nearby with 10-30 minutes drive. We drove out to have yakitori in a small down, which was very local, but with friendly owner, good food- and super cheap price ( each yakitori was about ¥120-150 yen. Breakfast buffet has both Japanese and western offers, taste was average. Overall service was very good.

Value for money. Highly recommended. Will stay again. The room is large for us to open and pack our luggage in preparing to depart airport the next day. The room facilities are convenient (without stairs) to suit my usage as a person with walking difficulties. I especially love the ensuite onsen bath with beautiful ocean view. The dinner and breakfast are delicious.

The facilities were old, but the room was very clean. The staff at the front desk and in the dining area were very kind. I called the front desk to confirm check-in time, but they were short-staffed and did not answer, but other than that it was perfect. I stayed alone on business. My reservation for one person was not communicated, so I was charged the hot spring tax for two people. When I explained the situation, they corrected it to one person, but I would have liked them to respond more clearly based on the guest name at the time of booking. There is a problem with trip.com's reservation specifications and I would like them to improve it.

The location is great, and the view is amazing. It's right on the beach, with small islands right in front. The staff are incredibly attentive. The food is also delicious, showing the effort put into staying within budget. Dinner was delicious.

The hotel is very expensive, butler service has not been enough to say that the top luxury. The scenery has its own open-air bathtub, which should not be a hot spring. The dinner was good and the local beef roast was great. There is a 5.1 home theater on the second floor of the duplex room, which is the sound quality of Sony Dafa. The hotel has a Cd to borrow in the room to listen to jazz is still very comfortable

Friendly staff Dinner is Chinese omakase Breakfast was clean and delicious
