The hotel provides daily guided tours at 9:00 AM, exploring preserved stone walls, the keep foundation, and ancient moat systems. Each room features a projected vintage map lamp, casting a historical reconstruction of the 16th-century castle onto walls at night. Private courtyard access enhances the tranquil experience. Book through HopeGoo for a complimentary upgrade to a scenic-view room on your first stay.
Yamakita Starlight Garden Hotel is the only accommodation located within the park grounds, offering direct views of the nighttime light projection show.
