Mitsui Garden Hotel Nagoya Premier

Mitsui Garden is our hotel of choice in Japan, and in just the past 2-1/2 years, we've had top-notch Mitsui Garden experiences in Sapporo, Sendai, Osaka, Hiroshima, and three different locations in Tokyo. Hey, if it ain't broke... Well, of course, we stayed here. It had an ideal downtown location just a five-minute walk to Nagoya Station. We had booked two nights in a Superior King Room for $220 per night, a reasonably priced high-end accommodation. Just as stylishly modern as the others in the chain, the lobby was sleek with panoramic views of the immediate city skyline. Keep in mind that Nagoya is the 4th largest city in Japan, so it felt pretty cosmopolitan. The front desk staff was cordial and comfortably fluent in English. Our room was pretty spacious at 248 square feet, enough to accommodate not only a king bed but also a chaise lounge and a pretty large bathroom with plenty of amenities. I have to admit our stay in Nagoya was so quick we didn't take advantage of the Sky Bar restaurant, but we did take a late soak in the large onsen which was immaculately maintained. We would definitely stay here again when we need a Nagoya fix.
