Ryokan Meiryu

A great room for a good price. It is a ryokan so expect a traditional Japanese straw floor room, however it was a much larger room than I expected. The service was great and the owner speaks very good English so communication was easy. Communal bathing (not mixed!) was a nice experience and clean area. For the area around the hotel, Kamimaezu Station is near the major intersection and not too far for transit. A short walk northwest will bring you to the Osu shopping district, with a large variety of shops and restaurants. North past the highway is the higher end shopping area with department stores and small malls. Generally a variety of shops and restaurants where within walking distance of Ryokan Meiryu. If you want to book a place in a great location with great service and rooms in Nagoya city, I would recommend this ryokan.
