Book Hikari hotels

We stayed there because of its proximity to the Iwakuni Airport to easily catch a next day flight. It was a comfortable walking distance to the airport. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The staff was very kind and helpful.

Hotel room size is good, not too small as a boutique style hotel in Japan. Ideal hotel for guests come with car. Plenty parking space at hotel and around it's area. Room rate is good and includes breakfast, we booked just a day ahead. Onsen pool is clean and almost no female guests there using it. We enjoy this short stay and a free breakfast. Will recommend Routin group hotels to other guests.

The room was spacious and clean and bathroom was nice and clean staff was nice and helpful air conditioning was wonderful

Very close to JR station. Many good food choices around the hotel.

This was by far the nicest room/resort we have stayed in. After being cramped in many Japanese hotels and ryokans, this was much much larger with three queen/full size beds, a 65" TV and an outdoor bath (mineral salts available in the lobby). However, please understand that as this location is very remote, dining options in the area and transportation may be limited. This may be why we didn't see any foreigners there? However, they do provide pick-up service to and from the Shin-Iwakuni station depending on the room you're staying in given you contact them at least three days in advance. Although our Shinkansen was unexpectedly delayed by two hours due to rain/lightning, they patiently waited for our arrival and did not leave us stranded. Perhaps the only downside was that we only stayed two nights as I felt we could've done with some more downtime and taking advantage of the amenities including the bikes and SUPs. I hope to return again soon, staying for a longer time next time. Thank you Marissa Resort for giving us an incredible and memorable vacation!
