This is the  first Women Only ryokan in Japan . It's quite a Gimmick. The is located on the peninsula with sea view in all the rooms. The hotel features indoor and outdoor onsen. The dinner and breakfast are including with the person charge by person. They spent time on all the tableware presentations and tasty as well. All the alcohol are included in the price. The bed are very comfortable. Quite an enjoyable experience with it.

One and only 'Women Only' Ryokan in Japan

I choose this hotel because of its location right between two locations I had to visit for business. This looked like a nice alternative for a boring Japanese business hotel. This hotel only had Japanese reviews and the rating differs from per website from two and a half to four stars, so I was unsure about my booking.

After staying here for about a week I still don't have a clue! From the outside the building looks dated and it is obvious that the photo's on the various booking websites have been taken many years ago. Guests are received by a traditional drum which speeds up when you enter the lobby. Interesting!

The lobby itself smells like old people and has many little displays where various goods are sold. The nature and variety of the goods just adds to the confusion. Parts of the huge lobby are in marine style, some in Japanese style and some just plainly dated. The same traditional Japanese "muzak" is played over and over in the central area.

The staff speaks very little to no English and I was the first western guest they had seen in a long time (I was actually hoping for this so I could excersise my Japanese). The staff is very happy, polite and allways helpful. Do mind the shoe-code: there's slippers for inside the hotel, outside the hotel, inside a room and inside a bathroom. Try not to confuse them...

There's a fair sized parking lot right in front of the building. Free wifi at decent speeds is offered in the lobby. The rooms do not have an Internet-connection and the only wifi point is out of reach for most rooms.

The rooms are spacious (15 tatami matts), clean and look more modern than the rest of the building. My room had a nice view over Mikawa Bay. A few days before visiting Aoi I was at a very expensive "riokan" and the "Aoi Hotel" has better accomodations! The restaurants serves decent (Japanese) food at decent prices.

Most of the time the place looks deserted. I saw the other guests during breakfast and dinner, but I have no clue where they went during the evening or daytime. The vilage of Kamigori has no bars, restaurants or any entertainment. The nearby beaches where abandonned as well. It feels like being the set of a cheap Japanese film from the '70 where all the actors keep disappearing.

Still a bit puzzeled I do recommend the Aoi Hotel. It offers a true Japanese experience and while there's room for improvement there is nothing wrong with the place either.
