Book your trip!
Forza experience was incredible! My husband and I only stayed for 2 nights but would have loved to stay longer. The hotel is beautiful, staff very friendly, & INCREDIBLE breakfast!!
We would stay here again solely for the breakfast accommodation. However, the hotel room was spacious as well as the bed & pillows were comfortable.
It was walking distance to everything including the bus station (10 min).
We highly recommend!

Great stay just like the 1st time
This is our 2nd time staying here after a fantastic experience last time. Location and condition of the hotel are superb. Additional perks such as one free sake tasting per night and 24 hours coffee machine (their mocha latte is the best) are available. Only downside is the bed is slightly towards the harder side and pillows are either too hard or too low but some may just love it as is.
