70s decor, 21st century amenities

This place is in tiny Iwakuni, and it’s seen better days. However, it’s location cannot be beat, right across from the bridge. It also has an awesome onsen. And we had a set dinner that was fantastic. If I came to this town again, I’d definitely stay here.

Great experience

Can't get any closer to the famous Kintaibashi bridge or the very excellent sword museum or the nice Iwakuni jo. The service is excellent. It is an older style Japanese hotel so the beds are very hard In terms of American comfort...but very good for your back. They serve an excellent Japanese only breakfast.

Disliked: Room comfort

Very very hard beds - very uncomfortable night.

Lots of good things about the hotel, but the main thing I want of a hotel is a good night's sleep. On this the Iwakuni Kokusai failed miserably. We had a very uncomfortable night indeed, because the beds were so hard. I wouldn't be surprised if the beds were acquired from the Chinese prison surplus store.
