Sparkling in the sky before the JR station, Hotel Clement looks like paradise. If Western-style rooms and super-easy city access are priorities, then this is the place for you. It's part of a national chain of luxury hotels with all the trappings: modern, bright rooms, gift shops and cafés, restaurants, and a faux-classy skybar. Strangely, there's no onsen or bath, but (strangely again) there is a Shinto shrine on the second floor.
