Kaikyo View SHIMONOSEKI - Vacation STAY 13687v

Gorgeous view

Dated, which was fine, but the baths should be better explained since I was not comfortable using them

The wonderful staff. Their patience The retro touches … ice cream area in the foyer. The old fashioned clock in the room the view from our balcony and the very Japanese tea cups The breakfast and the authentic Japanese dinner The free car parking onsite

The property is old but we knew that before booking but not everything can be brand new and it not always a good thing You need a car to see any sites

The view of the channel and bridge were exceptional. I liked that each room had its own balcony, which lets you bring the outside into the comfort of the room. The rooms were honestly quite basic, but they were large and had all the amenities that we needed including even slippers, muscle massaging tool etc. The hotel has a public bath, for those wanting a warm soak. We drove and so it was easy for us to get there. But if you don't drive, I imagine it may be difficult to get there. Hotel breakfast was Japanese style. And I thought it was just alright. The staff were honestly surprising. It wasn't a big luxury chain hotel, but the front desk staff made an effort to speak in English with us. We appreciated it.

Furnishings were old

Hotel was located on a hill with a magnificent view of the beautiful Kanmon bridge. The room, though dated, was large and clean. The beds were large and comfortable. From the room's balcony, you could see the sun rise. The hotel's breakfast was good. Highly recommended.
