J Hotel Rinku

My wife and I have had a 4-night stay at this J Hotel Rinku Room #814 from 21 to 25 October 2025. The Hotel is located next to the Rinku Tokoname Station (which is only a short 5-minute local train ride to and from the Chubu Centrair International Airport) in the small Tokoname City, which is about 45 kilometres to the Nagoya City via a 45-minute ¥860 train ride. The Hotel is also about a 300-metre walk to a big 2-storey Aeon Mall Tokoname that houses the Aeon Style Mall and Supermarket, many nice Japanese restaurants, and a good variety of shops that sell fashion and sport wears. It is a must-go for people who love to shop in Aeon Mall. The 11-storey Hotel does not look new but it is certainly not old and rundown. In fact, it is clean and well maintained. It has a peaceful and quiet surrounding. The hotel staff are polite and helpful, and they are able to communicate in English. It also provides free parking for hotel guests at a first-come-first serve basis. So we are grateful and thankful that we had enjoy free parking for 4 days! The hotel room is NOT the standard typical small room type; in fact it is surprisingly spacious and very clean. It has a proper small wardrobe, a proper vanity top, a proper bath and shower room that is separated from the WC, and it has strong water pressure for comfortable showers everyday. Although the bed is not too big, but the mattress and pillows are comfortable for our liking. And, we were given room with a nice sea view! The Hotel provides daily breakfast buffets with reasonably good varieties, so it does provide us a good start each day. At SGD S$135 per night for a spacious room with breakfast, we find it value for money and we will surely choose to stay here if we travel to Nagoya again.

Fine hotel, rooms are o.k, breakfast is fine too. Unfortunately, restaurant was operation only in the morning, all suppose to be facilities on the second floor were not really open, because of the COVID, which is very strange at this point of time. We are already 3 years into this fake pandemic and most places around the world already understand it...

A quick stop over in time for the flight. Small room, japan style... not very comfortable. It's more or less a bed and a shower. Shopping Mall 3-minute walk away. Dinner in the hotel restaurant as expected. Small dish...
