HOTEL R9 The Yard Ashikagafukutomi

Loved the hotel design, staff, and basic amenities so much. It's cozy and perfect for solo travelers.

As a traveler without a car walking in areas without a side walk, walking along the roadside can be a little scary. The area doesn't have anything worth visiting unless you like to golf. It's also a 30 minute walk from oyma Station.

Check in was easy, staff nice and free frozen food. Clean, new and got parking. Not far from Ashikaga Flower Park.

Containers room no window and soundproofing. Should have more family rooms.

Cool concept of turning shipping containers into accommodation.

Overall amazing, just that we couldn’t check in earlier than 3 which is fair if that’s their policy

Overall, our stay was very good. I was hesitant at 1st due to staying in a container box but this was one of our best stays. Also, they allowed us to store our bags for a few hours after checking out. This was super convenient!

My only complaints are: the check-in process was excessive. I tried to sent a copy of Japan's travel document (passport info etc) in advance. They never responded to my request to send to them When we got their, they said they were required to take a copy of our passport (which is not true!) I didn't like the idea of this but didn't have any options. Also but lesser, there are 2 children play room trailers right at the entrance. They were not open for use. My 16 month grand-daughter couldn't understand this. The trailers are on wheels. If they aren't going to make them available, they should move them so they're more obscure.

just a place for short stay, nothing more
