The hotel was renovated from a cotton textile factory. It was built in 1889, closed in 1945, and converted into a hotel in 1974. Now the hotel has complete facilities, but the special temperament is far better than ordinary business hotels. The main entrance, courtyard, and corridor of the hotel are very spectacular and beautiful. There is also a piano for tourists to play for free in the corridor. It is a wonderful experience to hear several people playing when walking by.
The hotel is located in the Bikan District, and it is very convenient to go out from the west gate of the hotel. The disadvantage is that it is a little far from the JR station, and there are few buses. If you miss one, you have to wait for half an hour. You can also walk here, and the scenery along the way is good.
It is best to include breakfast when booking a hotel. There are not so many food around too early or too late. If it is after 5 pm, you can go to the nearby shopping street, where the izakaya starts to open.
If you visit the Bikan District, including the Ohara Museum of Art and the Ivy Hotel, you can go back and forth in one day. But it is highly recommended to stay one night this time, sit in the beautiful courtyard, and look at the koi, turtles and the sky. Especially seeing the poster, there will be a buffet in the courtyard on summer evenings (including many kinds of wine), which should be a very good experience.
