Mie, Japan: Nipponia Hotel Iga Ueno Castle Town

 

Planning:  I'm torn between choosing between their building in Kanmuri or Kourai.  Kanmuri is less than 10 minutes walk from Uenoshi or Hirokoji station. It's where their lobby and restaurant is. Room 103 is enclosed without a window or garden view at the ground floor. But has windows on the 2F.
