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!!
Room view, at sunrise with the moon
Room view, last morning we were there. At sunrise. The sun was shining on half of the castle only.
Breakfast, standard items. Plus the rice mixed with squid and miso soup with pork and pumpkin that I mentioned before. My bowl has plain rice with curry as well.

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!!
