Kadofusa Shrine

Honestly worth the splurge. Large rooms, awesome amenities, good location. The onsen was a godsend after walking 20k steps a day. You must be fully naked, and they provide covers for medium and small tattoos. Free ramen at 9 pm was cool, although we only took advantage of it once because we always had dinner right before 9. The tatami floors and being in socks all throughout the property was kinda cool, but sometimes hurts when your feet are hurting from walking so much. The rooms have everything you need, and the little grab & go ice cream was a nice treat. I wish the bed was softer, but I found that all the hotels I stayed in (4) had beds that were too hard for my preference. Hotel staff was super nice and very helpful. My favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at, would highly recommend.

Perfect location on the Walk to get into Universal early and back to your room at the end of a long day. Great breakfast buffet. Loads of eating options on the walk for dinner. Also a great location to walk to the ferry terminal to go across to the aquarium and Ferris wheel.
