Our take
Etowa is not an airport hotel: it is a forest lodge with tents, log cabins, BBQs, an open-air bar and a sauna, about an hour and a half from Ibaraki Airport. The 9.2/10 score across 550 reviews is excellent. I would book it as an outdoor stay at the start or end of a trip by car, never for an early flight.
- Consider the log cabins for a more traditional and spacious stay, especially with younger children.
- Make use of the BBQ facilities for a fun and relaxed evening meal under the stars.
- Plan your airport transfer in advance, as the lodge is a little over an hour's drive away.
