VIA INN

Via Inn

VIA INN is a JR West Group hotel brand positioned around the idea of a familiar “usual inn” or “home away from home”: practical, close to rail stations, and designed for stays that need to be simple and comfortable. The brand is aimed at guests using hotels as a base for business and sightseeing, and its group-travel page also addresses group tours, corporate events and study tours. Signature features include locations within a five-minute walk of the nearest train station, functional rooms with large beds and original pillows, desk areas with free Wi-Fi and multiple outlets, amenity buffets, breakfast programs that vary by hotel, and, at some properties, large public baths or rooms with separate bath and toilet facilities. Its official hotel list shows a Japan footprint including Sapporo, Tokyo, Kanazawa, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Okayama, Hiroshima, Shimonoseki, Hakata and Kumamoto.
