Who is a stay at Nagoya B’s Hotel right for?

Nagoya B’s Hotel is right in the center of Nagoya, offering services and facilities designed to help you recover from the fatigue of even an extended stay.

On the 2nd floor there’s a large communal bath called “Rakuda no Yu”, along with two types of bedrock bath (a lie-down type and a gravel type), massage chairs, a fitness area, a lounge, and plenty of other ways to unwind and refresh.

A free breakfast service is also available, with a rotating daily soup, croissants, and more.

The hotel is a 15-minute walk from Nagoya Station, but a free shuttle bus also runs daily from Nagoya Station every 20 minutes! It only runs during check-in/check-out hours, but it’s still convenient.

There are over 130 lodgings and hotels, big and small, within a 1km radius of Nagoya Station!
With Nagoya also serving as a major business hub, it’s no surprise there are so many places to stay.

With that many options, it can be a real challenge finding somewhere you won’t regret.

We chose this hotel this time with sightseeing around Nagoya and Gifu as our goal, and having actually stayed there, Nagoya B’s Hotel is suited to the following kinds of guests:

Let’s go through each one.

First, anyone who wants a hotel with a large communal bath and sauna.
Nagoya B’s Hotel has a spacious large communal bath with an attached sauna.
A great choice if the unit bath in your room alone wouldn’t satisfy you.

Second, anyone who wants to relax at a hotel with manga and a bedrock bath.
Beyond the large bath and sauna, there’s a rest corner stocked with 2,000 manga volumes, a bedrock bath area, and on the same floor an ice machine, vending machines, and a microwave — you won’t be left wanting.

Third, anyone who wants a hotel with great value for money.
Despite checking both boxes above, rooms start from as little as ¥5,000, making this a hotel we can confidently recommend if you don’t want to spend too much on lodging.

Access to Nagoya B’s Hotel

Nagoya B’s Hotel is a 5-minute walk from Fushimi Station, standing in the heart of Nagoya — convenient whether you’re here for business or sightseeing. It’s run by B’s Hotel Group Co., Ltd. and built around a large communal bath and bedrock bath as its signature draws.

On the 2nd floor there’s a large communal bath called “Rakuda no Yu,” two types of bedrock bath (lie-down and gravel), massage chairs, a fitness area, a lounge, and plenty of other ways to refresh and unwind.

A free breakfast service is also available, with soup that changes daily, croissants, and more.

You can also walk the 15 minutes from Nagoya Station, but a free shuttle bus runs daily from Nagoya Station every 20 minutes! It only runs during check-in/check-out hours, but it’s a convenient option.

Parking at Nagoya B’s Hotel

Parking for Nagoya B’s Hotel is at a nearby paid coin-operated car park.
It’s a multi-story car park with space for 82 vehicles, and parking costs ¥1,500/night, payable at the front desk.

Size limits are up to 2m tall, 1.93m wide, and 5.3m long.

Overview of Nagoya B’s Hotel

Now let’s take a closer look at Nagoya B’s Hotel, the hotel we stayed at this time.

We drove to the hotel and parked in the multi-story car park behind it.
The main entrance is modest, much like a typical business hotel.

Check-in

Walk in through the entrance and the front desk is right there on the right.
At checkout, staff walked us through the facilities using a printed pamphlet.

The hotel is made up of a South Building and a North Building — the floor with the front desk is in the North Building, while the large communal bath, Rakuda no Yu, is in the South Building.
Each building has its own pair of elevators, and the 1st floor (front desk) and 2nd floor (large bath) let you move smoothly between the North and South buildings without much detour.

The North Building lobby, right beside the front desk.
The chairs and tables sit a little high, but the setup works well enough for getting some work done.
Visible in the back is the welcome drink corner.

A nice touch: the welcome drinks are available for a long stretch, from 1:00 PM to midnight.
The menu includes hot coffee, iced coffee, black tea, and a mixed-grain tea. A shame there isn’t a single juice option.

It’s a coffee machine, so you can get a drink instantly at the push of a button! Taking it back to your room is fine too.

The 1st-floor elevator hall in the South Building. This is the elevator that takes you up to the guest rooms.

Guest Room

A beige-toned carpeted hallway. A little narrow, but the lighting is nice and bright.

We stayed in a twin room for two.
Besides the twin beds, there’s a chair and table facing each other where you can sit and chat.
The lighting is a touch dim.

Two beds, each 1,950mm × 1,220mm, with a towel set and loungewear laid out on top. One medium-sized pillow per bed.

Unfortunately there’s no outlet by the pillow — the only outlets are near the TV. An extension cord or a longer phone charging cable will put your mind at ease.

A desk table with a stand-mounted TV. The TV isn’t especially large, maybe around 26 inches. It displays how crowded the large bath currently is, along with Wi-Fi information.

Next to the bed there’s a chair and a workspace.

Below the TV there’s a small fridge. It fits exactly one large 2L bottle laid on its side.

Inside the cabinet on the right you’ll find green tea bags, cups, and an electric kettle.

Microwaves are available on the 1st and 2nd floors.

There are hanger hooks on the wall, though not many hangers. There’s also a small mirror.

Vanity, Bathroom & Toilet

The vanity, bathroom, and toilet are all in one unit.
As the photo shows, this might be the one thing to brace yourself for — it’s quite tight.

You can’t stretch your legs out in the unit bath — you’ll need to sit with your knees up. That said, with a large communal bath on the 2nd floor, it’s not really an issue.

The vanity isn’t spacious either, but there’s a cup and toothbrush provided for each guest.

Nagoya B’s Hotel’s Large Communal Bath

Nagoya B’s Hotel has a large communal bath.

The large bath is on the 2nd floor. Hotel guests can use it from check-in until 1:00 AM, so even a late check-in still leaves plenty of time to soak at a relaxed pace.
There’s also a sofa in the middle for meeting up with others.

Rakuda no Yu, the men’s bath.
Face towels and bath towels aren’t provided in the changing room, so bring them from your room.

Rakuda no Yu, the women’s bath. The camel illustration is weirdly cute.

The large bath has two indoor tubs, one of which is a jet bath that fits three people at once.
It’s a bit roomier than your average neighborhood sento.
Razors and toothbrushes are available near the entrance.

Nagoya B’s Hotel’s Sauna

Nagoya B’s Hotel has a sauna. It’s a wide two-tier layout with a TV that has sound.

You sit on the sauna towel mat laid out on the bench.
Warmed by an infrared heater, the room runs over 100°C — properly hot!
Before you know it, watching TV, you’ll be dripping with sweat.

Nagoya B’s Hotel’s Cold Plunge

After the sauna, dive into the roughly 18°C cold plunge!
It somehow feels colder than the thermometer reading — maybe it’s just in our head.

A hotel with both a sauna and a cold plunge! This is truly a hotel built for sauna enthusiasts.

Nagoya B’s Hotel’s Bedrock Bath

It’s shared between men and women, but the bedrock bath is included at no extra charge.
There’s no special bedrock-bath outfit, so just wear your loungewear and sweat it out.
The temperature felt a touch low, and there was a heater set up in the room.

Nagoya B’s Hotel’s Manga & Rest Area

Nagoya B’s Hotel has a rest area stocked with around 2,000 manga volumes.
Much like a rest area you’d find at a bathhouse or spa, you can lie down and read.

A nice touch: there are even relatively recent titles like Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer!

There’s also a rest/work space with outlets and charging cables available!

Tired from working or reading manga? Unwind at the semi-private massage area!

Nagoya B’s Hotel’s Gym

There’s also a fitness gym on the 2nd floor.
It has dumbbells and space for free weights. Shoe rentals are free too.

Absolutely nothing left to be desired!

Nagoya B’s Hotel’s Breakfast

The breakfast hall at Nagoya B’s Hotel is right in front of the 1st-floor elevator hall.
It’s open from 6:30 to 10:00 AM, and breakfast features two daily-rotating soups, bread, and all-you-can-eat boiled eggs!

Most hotel breakfasts center on a Japanese-and-Western buffet with 30+ dishes, but Nagoya B’s Hotel keeps it simple.
If you can’t eat a huge amount first thing in the morning, the portion size here is just right.

It’s self-serve buffet-style, and you clear your own dishes when you’re done.
No one shows you to a seat — just sit wherever’s open.
The breakfast menu is laid out in a neat, compact spread.

That day’s soups were minestrone and a hatcho-miso cream soup — two options.

Minestrone, the kind you’d often get in a school lunch.
It’s rich in vitamins and helps with blood pressure.

The second daily soup is a hatcho-miso cream soup!
The miso flavor comes through stronger than you might expect.

A curry pie packed with the flavor of vegetables and beef, and a red-bean Danish featuring a refined sweetness from azuki beans grown in Tokachi, generously folded into the dough.

And a breakfast-bread classic: a freshly baked croissant.

A simple bread made mainly from domestic wheat, Rice Fine, and a chewy mentaiko-cheese bread.
The mentaiko-cheese one sold out early…

With egg prices climbing lately, they’re not always an easy everyday item — but here, boiled eggs are all-you-can-eat!

For drinks, there’s milk, orange juice, tea, and coffee.

There’s an espresso machine set up in the middle.

Take one of each bread, a boiled egg, minestrone, yogurt, and coffee — that’s the full breakfast set (laughs).
The breads are made in smaller sizes, so I’d recommend trying one of each first and then going back for seconds of whichever you liked best.

Clockwise from bottom left: mentaiko-cheese bread, red-bean Danish, Rice Fine, croissant, and curry pie.

My favorite was the mentaiko-cheese bread — the spicy mentaiko and the richness of the cheese were a perfect match!
The croissant would have been even better with a touch more oven time for extra flakiness.

For my second cup, the hatcho-miso cream soup, a Nagoya specialty.
It might not look like much, but hatcho miso has a bold, deep flavor that’s genuinely delicious.
It’s not quite a soup you’ll want refill after refill of like the minestrone, but it’s well worth trying at least once!

Final Thoughts

Nagoya B’s Hotel packs an impressive amount into a budget-friendly stay: a large communal bath, sauna, cold plunge, and bedrock bath all included at no extra charge, a manga-filled rest area, a small gym, and a simple but satisfying breakfast.
The rooms themselves are compact, but with so much to enjoy downstairs, you’ll hardly spend any time cooped up in them.
For a sauna-loving, budget-conscious trip to Nagoya, this hotel is well worth considering.
