Hotel Indigo INUYAMA URAKUEN GARDEN, an IHG Hotel

This hotel was a great surprise in a sort of out of the way location. It is a fabulous destination hotel, with an historic tea house and a historic castle in close walking distance. Can’t say enough about the excellent service, gorgeous decor, and tasty food.

This hotel is amazing with stunning decor, Onsen bath and beautiful grounds with large pond and bamboo. Rooms are larger than usual for Japan. Inuyama castle is visible from the grounds from some rooms. There is a national treasure tea garden that you can go to for matcha. If you are looking for a traditional Japanese experience this is NOT IT! This is not a Ryokan or traditional Onsen with tatami mat floors and dinner served in your room. It is a fantastic modern hotel with a very western approach to rooms and services done with Japanese taste and sense of style.

The view of Inuyama Castle from our balcony was stunning, especially at night. The property was beautiful, both inside and outside. The onsen, especially the outdoor onsen was wonderful and very relaxing. Great staff, great food, comfortable room and bed.
