Asago Art Village Tours and Activities

Brand new, so rooms were clean. Super small though. We ended up with a connecting room for 2 adults and one kid - that was nice because of the 2nd bathroom. We got a deal because we booked before it opened - could have chosen to stay a couple of more days at a higher price, but chose elsewhere instead. It’s fine - but the elevator situation is outrageous! Lines out the door. The automated checkin process was not smooth and neither was the baggage storage. It all worked out in the end, and maybe they’re kinks that will work itself out over time (but it’s not like Apa hotels are new). Location is great - near shopping areas and metro stations. You can get anywhere easily. There is a rooftop pool and hot tub, but it’s closed in the winter. There’s also an onsen - with a convenient busyness status on your tv. If you want to sacrifice some space for newer building and some nice amenities, this will work out fine.

Easy access to major tourism spots. Nice stuff and terrific design of the hotel. It has not an on-site parking, it was a difficult to find parking space nearby.

The location is great, right off Shinkansen train station. The hotel has a western deco, looks like new. Our triple room was great and staff was courteous. We walked to castle with no problem. There is shopping area near by. Plenty of food options. The city was nicely lit during holiday, we liked it quite a bit.
