4 star hotels in Chubu region

I’m giving my honest opinion. This is my first unsatisfied review for a hotel room. I was very disappointed by the room for the price I paid. I paid more for this room than what I paid for luxury upscaled room near Tokyo Disney. The photos online were very deceiving. When I entered my room, it was gross, i cringed, and my toes curled. I didn’t want to put my belongings down. The carpet was old and...

This is our second time visiting Naeba, and while the hotel is a bit older, it's incredibly convenient for families with kids. They have everything you need: restaurants, a convenience store, and shops selling ski gear. The ski resort is right at the hotel's doorstep, which is super handy, and if you're lucky, you might even catch some powder snow. It's also easy to get to the nearby Kagura ski resort

It's a very large hotel with complete facilities.The room was quite small, like most hotels in Japanese cities. Recommend ,,,,,

Loved everything about this accommodation. Amazing food and onsen.The mountain was perfect for skiing

A big old hotel with everything you need. A proper ski in and out facilities. A lot of food choices with reasonable prices. Eventhough the hotel is old, everything is clean and well maintained. Free shuttle from Echigo Yuzawa Station is a plus too.

If you want true ski in ski out , then I would recommend this hotel. The lifts are just just 50 meters outside the hotel buildings and they lockers for each room to keep your gears, which is very convenient. As for breakfast the spread is acceptable for the price charged. The rooms are rather small and I found some dusts on the furnitures. It would be better if the reception staff can speak better...

Clean and convenient. Exactly what I expected. Perfect for a busy 3 day visit to the city

The rooms are tiny. Breakfast is the same and never changes. We asked for a thick layer of dust to be removed, but no one has done so in four days.

The morning buffet is great. It's a semi-buffet style where you can choose between Japanese or Western main dishes, but you can also have as much bread and rice as you want, so you can pretty much eat both. The free ramen in the evening was also quite tasty. The waiting lobby also has a luxurious feel.

This was my first time traveling to Kanazawa, so I was a little nervous, but this was a fantastic place to stay. The staff were friendly, and the accommodations seemed clean and well-maintained. The breakfast was great, and the large bath was fantastic. Next time I visit Kanazawa, I'll definitely book at the Manten Hotel again.

Convenient transportation, close to the station, abundant breakfast, free ramen every night 🍜, tastes good, and soaking in the hot spring is comfortable.

I always feel safe at Manten. The bath, sauna, convenient transportation, and breakfast with a choice of Japanese or Western are all very satisfying. I will definitely use their services again.

got its own ski resort, very convenient. no need for car rental.

Very good location, convenient pick up bus services to the shopping mall and skiing areas! Room have a very good view and clean, comfortable environment for the stay!

The cabin felt like being in a forest, perfect for a summer trip. However, the facilities are a bit dated, making the experience less comfortable. I should have booked a room in the main building. That would have made accessing the hot springs and gym much more convenient.

there is a great experience to line in Hotel West, Prince Resort, especially, the Hot Spring where is clean and is easy to make customers relax.

This was my first time in Karuizawa, and I picked this hotel blindly, but it turned out to be even better than I expected. The hotel is right next to the outlets, making shopping, getting around, and dining all super convenient. The room decor was also very cozy.

Unexpectedly close to both the outlet mall and the JR station, it's within walking distance. The hotel is quite large, and the rooms are spacious too, with both indoor and outdoor hot spring baths. It's a great place for couples and families with kids to stay.

The location is absolutely excellent, right inside Terminal 1. Arriving in Nagoya on a winter night, staying overnight at the airport is the best option, especially when traveling with children.

I was impressed by the fantastic breakfast, which featured a wide selection of delicious options. The spacious rooms offered a great view of the planes taking off and landing, making the stay enjoyable. Additionally, thoughtful amenities like a wet towel dispenser at the buffet table added a nice touch. However, the room felt a bit dark, which could be improved. Overall, it’s a solid choice for travelers...

Great location, great view, helpful staff. Free kid amenities. I wish we had time to try their breakfast because it looked amazing with a lot of different options. We will definitely come back again next time if we visit Nagoya again.

The room's location is excellent, right inside the airport and across from the subway entrance. From the window, you can see the ocean and planes taking off. The soundproofing is fantastic; there's no noise disturbance.

This is3rd time to stay at Centrair hotel. The location was great nearly airport and has convenient store including food court. So the customers can select the restaurants they like to eat. The accommodation for type double bed standard in Pacific side was comfortable to stay and suited for 1-2 persons. The hotel can add more service such as providing some drinking water 2 bottles in room for free...

The location was fantastic, check in was quick and smooth. We left our luggage at the counter as we arrived early. We stayed on Level 9. Our room was a room at the end of the aisle with two single beds and an additional foldable bed added. However, the room was not properly cleaned. There was visible dust on the surfaces on the ledge of the bed above our heads. The small bedside table was also covered...

The location is fantastic, right next to Nagoya's main subway station. Downstairs, there's a shopping mall with Uniqlo, Bic Camera, and GU, perfect for all your shopping needs. There's also a convenience store right at the lobby entrance. We even received shopping mall discount coupons upon check-in. On our floor, there was a drink vending machine, a free ice machine, and a microwave. The bathroom...

The location of this hotel is outstanding for the price. Although the room was small, it was well-designed and very clean, with everything appearing brand new. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of bath salts to help ease sore muscles. The breakfast was a definite highlight, offering not only delicious options but also an amazing view.

5-star location, at Nagoya Station. Easily accessible to all the transport lines. The hotel lobby is on the 15flr and rooms above them. You can access to restaurants, Uniqlo, GU on the 12 Flr. It’s linked to JR Takashimaya on lower floors. We love the breakfast at Open House. By morning they serve breakfast and a French Restaurant at other meal times. Extensive breakfast spread, and excellent quality...

Really nicely deigned hotel in a skyscraper, no spa but excellent breakfast buffet with amazing views! Room was nice and compactbut with excellent views, bed super comfy.

This was my second stay here. The location is fantastic, with plenty of restaurants and shops right downstairs.

Location good ,, near to every where ,, many shop and resto ,, all stuff is complete but not have shower cap ,, size bite small ,,

Theres only one chair in the lobby, that nobody can sit on, because it's got a strong parfume dispenser right next to it, that goes off every 15 seconds. The people on reception have bad english. There’s no Laundry room, only expensive Laundry service, that doesn’t work on the weekends. The guests above us must have had kids or something, because they were constantly making loud thumping noises.

Clean and comfortable environment.

Great service and staff. Comfortable room in a great location near the Kanazawa loop. Would stay again and recommend.

Located in the business center, the hotel offers excellent service. The rooms, while not large, are well-laid out and have complete toiletries. It's within walking distance of attractions such as Kenrokuen Garden and Kanazawa Castle. There are buses to Kanazawa Station on the left side of the street outside the hotel. Overall, it was a great stay.

This hotel is in an excellent location, with friendly, helpful service and generally good quality rooms. One downside to my stay was the bed, which was very uncomfortable. The hotel's proximity to the old districts, museums and gardens is a big plus.

Superb location and hospitality. Spacious, clean, and quiet room. I attended the Kanazawa Marathon on the weekend, the hotel location is right across the street, and the hotel was so caring to open breakfast buffet at 6:30am so runners can have breakfast before race.

The room was incredibly spacious, offering exceptional value for the price. The hotel maintains a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, which I truly appreciated. While the furniture and carpets show some slight signs of age, the overall comfort remains high. I was impressed by their Zero Waste policy; instead of plastic bottles in the room, they provide glassware and a convenient water dispenser located...

Before booking, I want to give travelers a heads-up about staying in Nagano. Compared to Tokyo, Nagano is much more rural. Local transportation relies heavily on buses, which usually only come about once an hour, and the timetable isn’t always accurate. Also, there are no street lamps around the area near this hotel at night, so definitely bring a good flashlight. If possible, renting a car is highly...

We made use of the 2:20pm free shuttle from Nagano station to the hotel. Head to the east exit of Nagano station, go down to ground level, the shuttle bus will be at stop 34/35. The ride took more than 20 minutes, but we could check-in straightaway when we reached the hotel. Had two cans of Kirin beer as our welcome drinks because I was still Accor silver member when we booked this room. We were assigned...

Stayed at this resort for a few days in first week of January 2026. I would not include it in my top 5 hotels that I stayed in Japan this year. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The resort itself is about a 30 minute taxi ride away from Nagano Station. Uber is not available in Nagano but front desk staff can help youbif you want to book a taxi but this should be done well in advance....

I stayed in this hotel for 6 nights while exploring the nagano region. first the positives:- - great price for the standard of the room. while the decor is dated, everything works, and its relatively clean. - super convenient if you have a car. there was free parking and it is at most 30 mins to 2 hours to most tourist attractions and ski resorts - the reception staff was polite, quite different from...

We had a pleasant stay at Mercure Nagano. The breakfast buffet was impressive, offering an extensive selection of Western and Asian cuisine. I appreciated the complimentary shuttle service from Nagano station to the hotel and back, given its location approximately 15-20 minutes away. The room was spacious, as was the bathroom, which had good water pressure. However, we were disappointed to find that...

Quite a walk from the station but otherwise a proper hotel for the area.

This hotel offers great value for money, even though it was slightly overpriced due to Japan's spring break. The room was quite spacious. I especially loved the hotel's large public bath; it was so relaxing and washed away all the fatigue. The breakfast was also good, but since there were many tour groups, we sometimes had to wait for a table in the morning. It's an 8-minute walk from Kanazawa Station...

Lovely place. Value for money. The rooms are clean, bed comfortable. Location is 8 minutes walk from the train station but you’ll have to use the underpass if you’re bringing a large luggage. Plenty of restaurants at the train station and the bus loop also starts there so very convenient. Only bad note of that there is nothing much other than a 7 Eleven in its immediate surroundings

In is very convenient location, close to the Kanazawa station, frienly staff and worth every penny

Great service, big comfy beds and very clean room. Separate bathroom and toilet. The only thing I can pick on is the room design that puts the washing basin outside as it takes away quite some usable space for the luggage when the room itself is quite spacious. We had two 55-65cm suitcases but still struggled slightly to get space for both.

It's genuinely very close to Kinshicho Station. The room was a bit small, but having a 7-Eleven downstairs was convenient for buying things. The hotel has a large public bath, which was nice for a soak. The front desk staff were very friendly. I'd definitely stay here again next time.

Convenient location near department store and tourist attractions. However, the car park couldnt accommodate our car so we had to park somewhere else, which us a bit inconvenient.

I loved this hotel. It’s one of the best cost-effective options I’ve stayed at. The room was clean, well equipped, very comfortable, and the amenities were great. The location is also very convenient. Unfortunately, I didn’t try the breakfast, so I can’t comment on that.

Great location. Nice facility I highly recommend this place easy access from the train station!

Good central location. Decent hotel with good facilities. Welcome drink is nice.

Easy, clean, affordable, well located. It was great for our two day trip.

Amazing for the price paid. Room is small but sufficient, comes with many amenities and more impressively a 4 hour free flow happy hour.

Easily accessible by car. Nice view next to the lake. Got an upgrade room to the suite. Super spacious and quiet. Free alcohol and other drinks in the fridge. Free lounge on the 13th floor. Breakfast was buffet style. Everything was great for the stay.

Serenity found! 🌊🏨 Grand Mercure Lake Hamana Resort & Spa is like a tranquil oasis. Stunning lake views, relaxing onsen, and excellent service make it a perfect escape. Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, this resort has it all 👍

If you do not have a car it is not the best location however if you just want to live in peace it may be a perfect place. The nearest convenience store is about 18 minutes by walking. The nearest bus stop to the HUGE Aeon mall is about 15 minutes walking. Take bus number 20. About $2usd The hotel does offer a free shuttle FROM THE SOUTH SIDE EXIT and the maisaka train station has a city bus stop...

Decent place. Has shuttle buses to bring you to Maisaka JR station South exit. See picture for the schedule but please confirm with hotel when you check in. The room was large but the toilet was small. Bath tub for bathing for soaking is deep enough but not very big. It has a nice gift shop which opens only from 430pm to 9pm. Get some local produce as gifts. You can also seek gift shop staff to help...

Excellent views, quiet place, good size rooms for Japan.

(Addition 1) Daiwa Royal Hotel is a nationwide hotel operated by Daiwa House. Nowadays, well-funded manufacturers are developing hotel chains, but it is a long-established chain of resort hotels. The room is both for members and for general sale. The hotels are located in good places all over the country, especially Mt. Bandai and Mt. Oyama. Lake Hamana was also a scenic spot, but I visited because...

This time I stayed with the "Room Choice" plan. The room was spotlessly clean. Amenities such as toothbrushes and razors were provided in the room, as well as a kettle, cups, tea bags, and caramel latte. The air conditioning was automatic, but it was just the right temperature for a comfortable stay. There are also many restaurants nearby, as well as a supermarket that's open until 2am, which is convenient...

nice place to stay it all works well

The hotel's location is great, with plenty of food options downstairs and a large Don Quijote store nearby. Parking is completely free. The room itself isn't very big, and while the bathroom has been renovated, the ventilation system isn't very good. It's also the only tall building in the area.

Comfortable and nicely equipped. Enjoyed our stay. Staff were very hospitable.

I stayed at this hotel and really loved it. The room was quiet, peaceful, and super comfy — I slept so well all night. The location is perfect, right next to Donki Mall with lots of shops around. Free parking was a big plus too. I’d definitely come back!

This hotel is very convenient, with many delicious restaurants and shopping centers nearby. It’s the best choice for a vacation, and it also offers free parking. The hotel rooms are average, but the price is affordable.

Strategic location but razor need to pay to get it for guest. Free massage is good. Too crowded bath. No ladies ammenities given.

Fantastic! This is a really great hotel. It's clean, hygienic, and offers excellent value for money. Please keep up the good work!

The service is really impressive. I am very touched by their hospitality. The location is also great, just next to JR station. Shopping is easy. A 10 to 15 mins walk will bring you to don quijote. Bus terminal is also near. If need to go pia bandai, but with elderly, can consider taxi there. Only about 1000 to 1400 yen.

Within 5 mn walking from Niigata station (Bandai exit). Japan style compact room but comfortable and quiet. Great breakfast.

Location - Very good. Opposite Niigata Station, exit from Bandai Square. There is a Lawson opposite (Station side), and a 7 eleven next to the hotel. Located right along an entire street of food. Don Quijote is a 7 min walk away. Room - Huge, clean, comfortable. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Lighting was a bit rigid and oddly placed, but not a big deal. Housekeeping does a great job....

It is very close to JR Niigata station. The staff handled check-in with hospitality. The facilities were maintained well with neatness and cleanliness. Although I booked the smallest room, the room still has enough space for opening the luggage fully.

Highly recommended! I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Indigo Karuizawa. The hotel offers great value for money, and I was really impressed by the design—the atmosphere and attention to detail throughout the space are fantastic. The highlight for me was definitely the Ofuro (public bath) and the sauna; they were so relaxing. I slept exceptionally well here. If you’re looking for a peaceful and high...

The hotel environment is beautiful, and the facilities are very new. A special thanks to the staff for their warm hospitality, which really made our trip even better. The only downside is the breakfast—there aren't many options, and the taste is just average. The location is a bit remote, but there is a Lawson and a few restaurants nearby. Plus, the hotel provides a convenient shuttle bus to the train...

My husband and I had the best time! The hotel was conveniently located, a short drive from the train station and ski resorts. It is also very close to a snowboard rental. Want to give a shout-out to Ryu, who helped us communicate with the transport company when they sent us the wrong snowboard. Our stay wouldn't have been so lovely without Ryu and the team. Thank you!

I'd seen some reviews saying the facilities were a bit old-fashioned, but I actually found them to be perfectly fine. It was clean and hygienic, and the staff were very welcoming. Since it was winter, there weren't many tourists, so it was wonderfully quiet. We booked two twin rooms for our group of three adults and one child, and we were all really happy with the room views. We booked breakfast...

The room is quite spacious with a great design, and the bathroom has a separate wet and dry area. The lobby is grand with stunning floor-to-ceiling window views. There are shuttle services to the hot springs and outlet mall nearby, but the most convenient thing is the train station! 👍

I brought my own snowboard to Karuizawa. It's a 70-minute Shinkansen ride from Tokyo Station to JR Karuizawa Station. The Shinkansen luggage racks have straps to secure snowboards. After exiting the station, head to the hotel service center (open until 7 PM) located on the far right of the 7/11 convenience store at the South Exit (Pic 7). You can drop off your luggage there and then explore the Plaza...

Nice hard bed, friendly staff. Close to castle and garden , but 20 minutes walk from station.

Best was the receptionist! A young and very professional gentleman that helped us with everything along our stay, he normally works in Kyoto but came for a week to the hotel in kanazawa. Hope to see you at the hotel insomnia KYOTO next time we pass through. Highly recommend this hotel! Some weights at the gym would have been the cherry on top of the cake :)

I think the check in process was very easy and their locker was free.

Beautiful brand new hotel located in a nice area in Kanazawa. The public bath is the cherry on top

The Square hotel Kanazawa was our favourite hotel in Japan so far. 15 minutes walk from Kanazawa Starion and in a great location for our short stay in Kanazawa (we now wish we had booked longer). We walked everywhere, including to the old Samurai district. 3 single beds, 2 were on a platform so that added a bit of Japanese authenticity (a bit). Lovely staff, public bath had tatto restrictions but that...

The hotel is clean and tidy, and there's a hot spring bath on the top floor. It's located near Omicho Market. I booked early and got a triple room for less than 300 per night, which was excellent value for money. I was very satisfied with my 4-night stay.

Location is super convenient, less than 5mins walk to the JR station. Love the room as well, it is tiny if you hav a huge luggage, but i love that the room feels brand new, and everything is clean. The view from the window is great, you can see people walking around the station, no blocking by any tall buildings. Window can be opened, which is great, as it make the room feel fresh and cooling. Will...

Very nice, clean hotel. The location is near the station which is awesome.

Highly recommended, clean and modern.

Staff is friendly and place is clean and spacious for solo traveller at such price in Japan. Very value for money. I would comeback again if i am visiting niigata next time. The room has nice view too.

Really good service and location

Very good location! Room is tidy and clean! But the room is a bit hot because there’s no air conditioning! The switches are for heating! The hotel provides free storage of luggages! So good we left our luggages and take a trip to Yahiko village!

The hotel's location is great, about a five-minute walk to the station. The room size was very satisfactory, and the bathroom had a clear dry/wet separation and was spacious and easy to use.

This hotel is super convenient, just a short walk from the West Exit of Kanazawa Station, right next to the Hyatt. Compared to other Daiwa hotels, the decor here is much more refined, and the room was quite spacious. Really impressed!

Hotel Location: Strategically situated just a short walk from JR Kanazawa station, the hotel is easily accessible via the nearby shopping mall. It’s conveniently located next to Hyatt Centric, and a short stroll takes you to Omicho Market for fresh seafood. Facilities: The hotel boasts a public bath, a welcome addition during the cold winter months. Additional amenities, including coffee drip bags...

Room is spacious and very nicely decorated. There’s tv console with vanity corner, with plenty of table top space which is typically lacking in compact hotel rooms. Bathroom is spacious with separated toilet, bathroom and sink area.

An excellent hotel rather near the Kanazawa Train Station. There are also some good Japanese restaurants opposite the hotel. The room is spacious, contemporary with Japanese flavour. The facilities and amenities are comprehensive like body lotion, shampoo, comb, Onsen towel scrub, and tooth brush. The Onsen is rather small but sufficient as the turnover rate is pretty high since there is not much...

The staff were very friendly, they can speak English, and the location is close to Kanazawa Station. The room was clean, but the carpet tended to collect quite a bit of dust.

Before trip, I think this hotel is located close to Toyama station but I walked from Toyama station to the hotel around 20 minutes (However, this was my own fault for not reading the hotel’s location information carefully). For this hotel, the facilities is very well and various such as public bath, electric body massage machine, vending machine. For the public bath, if you use it during the daytime...

8mins walk from JR station but easy to find, open hot bath with magnificent view. breakfast is good with options of western or japanese style. Get a good price at trip.com, will definitely return next time

decent hotel in a good location, lots of establishments nearby

It was great and we are going to go there again when we visit TOYAMA

Great location with great staff!

Hotel near the tram station, free public onsen, good service, small room, parking 1,000 ¥/night

I booked this hotel for the Fukui Marathon. Its location couldn't be more perfect, right downstairs from the start and finish lines, making it ideal for pre-race rest and post-race recovery. The hotel facilities are a bit dated, but it has everything you need. It was a pleasant travel experience overall.

Lobby is grand and great area, check in service is fast, smooth and patient for serving. Lobby contain a 24-hr shop for us buying snack. Room is clean, big and window can sightseeing city view, great. Bed is comfortable, hotel provide types of pillow for selection , comfortable for sleeping well.

Perfect stay! A varied breakfast with a beautiful view. A cozy room.

I really enjoyed the night at Hotel fujita Fukui. The staff are so nice and the room was nice as a single room. They would not allow early check-in, but you can leave your luggage there. The hotel is about 10 minutes away from the Fukui station by walk.

The room was small, but clean and well renovated. It is a bit far from the train station. After checking-in, don't forget to grab some amenity kits from the front desk area.

Overall good but the 1st night was below expectations because the power Supply was not working

Mitsui Garden always be my first hotel when I explore the new region in Japan. Location is a bit outside the main central city, in walking distance. The hotel servicer can easily communicate with English, understand customer needs, that's super nice. And Mitsui Garden normally have the top floor hot tube area which is super good for me to relax after full day travel around. 

The hotel's overall environment is outstanding. Dining by the window offers spectacular views, which was a real treat. The breakfast spread was extensive with fresh ingredients, leaving me very satisfied. The biggest surprise was the hot spring bath area on the top floor; soaking in the springs while enjoying the view outside the window was an incredible experience. Overall, my stay was fantastic!

This was a lovely hotel. The room was spacious to open 2 luggages and was clean. There was a tub in the toilet which was large. The main selling point of this hotel was the amazing breakfast. The buffet spread was abundant and had many options, and the view of the snow out the window as we ate was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. It is also located well near the bus stop that takes you...

This is my second time staying here. The room is nice, but it's a bit far from the subway. We drove, and parking was very expensive – we had to find our own spot. However, it's just 200 meters from Omicho Market, and within walking distance to Kanazawa Castle Park, Kenroku-en, and Higashi Chaya District. The hotel is clean and has a public bath and laundry room.

This garden hotel offers an excellent experience! The location is superb, very close to major attractions. They even provided a free one-day bus pass, which was fantastic! The rooftop hot springs were so relaxing. I'd definitely stay here again if I have the chance. Breakfast was also very extensive.

The hotel is quite a walk from the station, about 20 minutes, or you can take a bus. It's very close to the seafood market. The hotel has a large public bath. For breakfast, the hotel's own breakfast is good, or you can choose to eat at partner restaurants in the seafood market.

There were very few Chinese guests, mostly Japanese families on vacation. We were probably among the rare Chinese guests at this hotel. We chose the Horizon room type, which comes with two private onsen baths. They aren't huge, but they are impeccably clean. Dining was at Ocean, about a 15-minute walk away. The upside is that it's perfect for a leisurely stroll back to your room after dinner to digest...

The views from the hotel are absolutely stunning, and it's especially pleasant when the weather is nice. The hotel's location isn't very convenient, as it's quite a distance from Atami city center. If you're relying on public transport, you'll need to keep a close eye on the bus schedule. There are two bus stops about a ten-minute walk away. A major plus is the free shuttle service to Atami Station...

Even though I knew from my research that it was an older resort hotel, I still didn't expect there to be so many locals here 🤣. The hot tub on the 15th floor was packed like sardines, and while it was open-air, the view was just average, not as good as what you'd find in Izu. The hotel's biggest feature has to be its grand, concert hall-like restaurant. The two buffet meals (breakfast and dinner) offered...

I really loved the room and its environment, facing the sea, I could watch the sunrise every day. The facilities and hygiene conditions were pretty average. There are three public indoor and outdoor hot springs available for use. The hotel has two guest room buildings with a very long corridor in between. To get to the hot springs or dining, you need to switch between different elevators. When I first...

The hotel boasts unparalleled views. The complimentary meals were so lavish and satisfying – after two breakfasts and two dinners at the buffet, we genuinely felt we'd already sampled the best of Japanese cuisine and there was nothing left to discover when we finally went to Tokyo; the hotel truly had it all! Finally, I must highlight the hotel's incredible cliffside onsen. Since it's a traditional...

Everything was excellent – the food was delicious, and the hot springs were fantastic. I especially appreciated the early mobile check-in feature, which allowed me to get into my room half an hour sooner than usual.
