Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Awaji City
For most travelers, Kobe Airport (UKB) is the practical choice. Although technically in a neighboring city, it serves as the primary domestic gateway for Awaji Island, offering significantly faster and more affordable access than other hubs. Osaka Itami Airport (ITM) is a major domestic hub located in a neighboring city, suitable for travelers already connecting through the Osaka metropolitan area. Kansai International Airport (KIX) serves as the main international entry point for the region, but its distance and the complex transfers required to reach Awaji make it less convenient for a quick transit. Nanki Shirahama Airport (SHM) and Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO) are both located in neighboring cities and are generally too remote to be efficient, serving mainly as secondary options for specific regional needs. Travelers should prioritize hub proximity to Sannomiya station for the most reliable bus connections to the island.

The hotel itself isn't up to par. The amenities provided are quite subpar; the toothbrush, for instance, was so rough it made my gums bleed. Right from check-in, they try to upsell you to a more expensive room. If you refuse, they deliberately assign you a low-floor room with a terrible view – I'm convinced it's intentional. So, if you want a decent experience, you're practically forced to upgrade. After upgrading, they cheerfully provide a hotel map and some greenhouse coupons. Otherwise, you just get a key and that's it. While I can't pinpoint any specific service issues, there was an overall 'off' and unsettling vibe. Even the renowned architecture nearby is poorly maintained. You can't truly appreciate the details; it only looks decent from a distance. This is quite rare in Japan, where I've always found people meticulous about maintenance. This place, however, completely overturned my expectations. Overall, it feels like quite a desolate and depressing place.FromUS$156

This time I used it for my family's rice life and 60th birthday celebration. I was also satisfied with the red and yellow Chan-chanko. I asked for a separate order for cakes, and I also lit the candles and gave me a pleasant hospitality.
It was a good memory.
Thank you 😊
I thought it would have been better if the room was cleaned a little more well.FromUS$92

The location was easy to find.
The front desk staff were polite and welcoming.
I stayed here without meals, but the rooms were worth the price...
I could hear the voices from the next room, which bothered me a little, and
The toilet seat was small, or rather, the toilet paper was placed in an awkward position, making it difficult to use. lol
The amenities included a humidifier, which was nice.
I would stay here again if I was just staying without meals.FromUS$33

This should be the cheapest hotel among Tadao Ando's architectural works. It focuses on the best value for money. The kitchen in the loft room is quite easy to use, with all the pots and pans available. The massage bathtub in the bathroom upstairs is also very good. Yes, the only regret is that you can't see the sea from the room. You can't see the sea even if you have stayed in a Western-style single room before. You can only walk outside to enjoy it. It's a bit of a pity. The breakfast provided by the hotel is quite delicious. I ate all the rice in a pot.FromUS$156

Very interesting hot spring hotel, the room can accommodate 16 people... Look at the text written on the outside of the hotel, this is more suitable for staying together. The tatami room is too big. I am a little scared to live alone (ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ Staying here can use the hot spring in the store for free. The ice cream made of Awaji milk bought after the hot spring is very delicious.FromUS$37

My 3 nights stay with my family at Awaji Central Inn Kuruma713 was a good one! The rooms are clean and amenities are adequate. The location is reasonably good since it is within 60 mins drive to most of the attraction places. The only con is that it has only one common toilet and one common bathroom.FromUS$125
