Love the pod concept. No worries of making too much noise and disurbing your neighbors. Great that the hotel offers in room microwave, rare in Japan, and a good size fridge. Daily meal voucher- great dinners. Right next to 7-11, great for shopping for food and drinks. Friendly staff.

We stayed there because of its proximity to the Iwakuni Airport to easily catch a next day flight. It was a comfortable walking distance to the airport. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The staff was very kind and helpful.

The change with the initial reservation caused some confusion despite communicating this to staff well in advance. When returning to the rooms after a long day we could not access them with new codes provided earlier in the day. Communication with staff after hours was extremely frustrating as foreigners as they were laughing and not helpful with providing efficient customer service. The emergency personnel were rude and took their time despite the cold weather conditions in the late hours of the night. There was no compensation for the inconvenience to guests.

Small but comfortable

Room was a little cramped but very comfortable. The bed was firm and comfortable. The bathroom was excellent but small. It was clean and clean towels were provided every day. The location was excellent, close to MCAS Iwakuni and close to the city center. The provided meals were frozen microwaveable dishes that were tasty but only providing frozen meals was disappointing but you are close to a convenience store and not far from many amazing restaurants.

We stay at The Yard for 8 nights. Our unit was clean, the bed was comfortable and the office employees were very friendly. We appreciated the frozen “light meals” that were included in our very reasonable room rate. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. Our only complaint would be that the completely asphalted property has very poor drainage, so when we had an extremely rainy day our shoes got soaked walking onto the property to access our unit.

The location was less than a 5 minute drive from the airport and the base. There was a grocery store and two 7-Elevens within walking distance.
Only thing that would be beneficial is a change machine for the laundry, since it is ¥100 coin-only.

I have never stayed in a hotel like this (each room is a separate shipping container that has been converted to a hotel suite). I found the room to be quiet and very comfortable. I chose it for its convenience to the Air Station, which you can walk to in about 5 minutes. Laundry is onsite and easy to use. Free coffee/espresso. Good WiFi. Meal vouchers are provided (one per day). I would definitely stay here again, and I recommend it to those traveling to the Iwakuni area.

This is a shipping container hotel. Very unique and I've enjoyed my stay immensely! It's very quiet here, you never hear your neighbors and the city is quiet as well. It's next to the airport and MCAS Iwakuni. This is my second stay at this property and I've already booked a third stay. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and have nice amenities.
