Our group tour in Japan, started with our stay at Hotel New Otani Kumamoto. We only stayed for a night, so we did not get to explore the hotel grounds which had restaurants, shops and a bakery on the first floor, swimming pool, fitness club, tennis courts and, rooftop terrace. Since it was a group tour we did not spend much time in the hotel, but one thing that stood out was the cute ‘bear’ mascot throughout the hotel.

| View from the room |
The view from the room was splendid at night and the room itself was small but clean. The décor however, seemed to be a little dated (perhaps from the 90s?). Dated décor aside, the room was clean and comfortable with the usual amenities like slippers, robes, tea bags, kettle, a safe, etc…

| Our 'key' in the form of token and what triggers the electricity for the lights and all |
 |
| The beds were comfortable (enough) although the pillows could have been fluffier. |
 |
| The only window in the room with a shade |
 |
| The TV (though a tad dated), had about 20 channels that we could choose from (e.g. CNN, Discovery etc..). |
 |
| Cups, kettle, tea bags etc... |
The biggest letdown would have to be the dated plastic-ky toilet in an odd shade of yellow beige. But other then the underwhelming exterior, the toilet was clean and functional with the complimentary items like toothbrush & paste, cotton swabs etc…
 |
| The yellow lights did not help with the ambience of the toilet |
 |
| Is that sink supposed to be yellow or beige? Having plastic for bathroom counter material give it a 'cheap' feel |
 |
| Toilet with a bidet! |
 |
| Toohbrush, cotton swabs, shower cap, combs, razor etc... |
 |
| In-room slippers and extra chairs or luggage holders |
|

There's a vending machine for ice and water
