Hotel Indigo Inuyama Urakuen Garden

The hotel sits inside Urakuen Garden itself, so the forest views come standard and the hilltop castle appears on the other side. This IHG Indigo property in historic Inuyama leans into its setting hard, with rooms styled around the nearby Jo-An tea house, graphic murals keeping things from tipping into theme-park Japan, and an onsen with indoor and outdoor baths. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.
