Hotel New Omi
forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.34 out of 5 (1,430 reviews). The hotel is a 2-minute walk from Omihachiman Station and stores luggage before and after check-in, so families moving around for sightseeing can travel light. Guests also speak well of the breakfast, with many saying they look forward to the rice and the buffet. On the other hand, the room key is not a card key and only one is issued, which can feel inconvenient when a family wants to split up.
