Top Iwaoka Hotel Reviews

Kobe Portopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful high end hotel, well maintained, well located just 2min covered walk to the train station (portliner going downtown), 2min to the convention centers. Also has a free shuttle going downtown 3 or 4 times per hour. Several restaurants onsite, immense lobby. I didn't have time to go to gym nor pools. Also just a few train stations away from Kobe Airport. Will definitely stay there again if I go to Kobe."

Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"We booked this hotel 6 months ago and asked for a quiet room. They put us next to a family with a constant crying baby in and out of their room and balcony banging around. It amazes me that they had 6 months to manage our request!! However the room itself was really nice and an amazing outlook over to the sea. The breakfast was average. We did go to the roof Terrace twice for a drink and found the head bar man unhelpful and unfriendly. We asked to try the house wine which comes by the glass before ordering but were faced with a rather direct and blunt ‘NO’ which we found awkward. Not a great experience and the hotel ultimately misses out on business."

Seaside Hotel Maiko Villa Kobe

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing view from the room of the Akashi Kaikyou bridge and fantastic breakfast buffet with both western and Japanese food. Luxury communal bath was also fantastic and appreciate it being open late with spa quality soap, shampoo, conditioner and a few lotions and cleansers. Peaceful location in mostly residential area but close enough by train to Tarumi, Akashi, Kobe and Himeji which all offer lots of dining and shopping options as well as sightseeing. Room amenities included pajamas, slippers all necessary toiletries, hair dryer, small fridge, electric kettle, cofee, tea, and bottled water. 10 min walk from Maiko station is a little uphill and may be tough in the summer heat with luggage, but short taxi ride is also an option from the station. There is an elevator that will get you up the final hill to the hotel, which may be hard to spot for first time visitors, so be sure to google the entrance elevator to find it."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Iwaoka?

The best time to visit Iwaoka, Hyogo Prefecture, is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) for pleasant weather and beautiful scenery.

Spring in Iwaoka brings mild temperatures and the stunning bloom of cherry blossoms, particularly around the Iwaoka Castle Ruins. This period is ideal for couples who enjoy scenic walks and photography amidst nature's beauty. The weather is generally sunny, superb for exploring the local area without the discomfort of extreme heat or cold.

Autumn offers equally comfortable temperatures and the vibrant colours of changing leaves, especially noticeable in the surrounding rural landscapes and near the Minatogawa Dam. This season is excellent for travellers looking for outdoor activities like hiking or cycling, as the air is crisp and clear.
