Minamiise Vacations from NT$14,096

The lobby looked very nice, but the rooms felt outdated, more like a 70’s style, which was a bit disappointing. However, the location was convenient — close to fun places like the Owl Café and a matcha course.

The hotel is 15min walk from the main Nagoya JR station (restaurants, department stores etc).

I like the room because it was clean and feels upgraded. Front desk staff speaks perfect English which made communication much easier.

Great transportation links

We went to watch the Grand Prix in Suzuka - as all the buses to the track go from Shiroko this is not a brilliant location. There are not many local facilities within walking distance. The hotel is basically a sex hotel. Its possible to book the rooms by the hour and via a computer screen in reception so no-one has to see you. The rooms are sound proofed, and the decor is very bordello. On the positive side there is a karaoke machine in the room and a gambling machine if thats your thing. There are 7 TV channels - 1 is golf the other 6 are 'adult content'. The bed was rock hard, but as my husband pointed out we were probably the only people actually interested in sleeping in it (gross). There was a jacuzzi bath, and lots of amenities in the bathroom. Its quirky, a bit weird but fairly clean, and if I spoke Japanese I might have realised before i got there it was a brothel.
