Vessel Inn Fukuyama Station

Very friendly staff; easily walkable to/from train and historic sites

Clean and comfortable room. So glad I booked a room with castle view. We had the Superior Twin Room, 23m2. The view was just amazing! And we got to see the castle at different times of the day. The hotel offers welcome drinks. Not just standard drinks but hot chocolate, too! Thank you! The breakfast room also has view of the castle! So nice!! Buffet breakfast has standard items plus dishes using local ingredients (or famous local dishes?) For example, miso soup with pork and pumpkin, rice mixed with squid, Swiss roll with sweet potato, apple caramel cake and mochi with red bean. No other hotel we stayed in had these. Compliments to the chefs! On top of that, there was a Kyushu Food Festival on at the Fukuyama Castle grounds the weekend we were there. We got to experience that. So lucky. Joining in to do morning exercises before sunrise in front of the castle was another memorable experience!!

Excellent location adjacent to train station. The staff at front counter were SUPER nice and friendly. Very helpful and accomodating. There is a lovely castle literally next door. The breakfast was easily the best I’ve had in a Japan business style hotel and was included in the room rate!! Only stayed one night, but would definitely stay again in the future!!

Our family of 6 enjoyed Vessel Inn Fukuyama Station, It was a very convenient location for our Japan family members to come and visit us, too. I am especially thankful the location is next to the stunning Fukuyama Castle where we were able to visit and enjoyed the cool activities of a time when feudal lords ruled the land. Fukuyama Station is so wonderfully calm for the most part in comparison to the larger city train stations. The breakfast buffet was great! Thank you very much to the breakfast supervisor for your patience with us when we showed up with no breakfast ticket. He had to go check on the computer that we were legit patrons but he was very personable and forgiving!Everyone here was genuine and welcoming. This was our 2nd time here and we’ll be back for sure! Thank you again to all staff members at the Vessel Inn Fukuyama Station!!
