By Torimonn · Stayed September 2026 on a family road trip in Mie
Our verdict: Hotel Econo Kameyama was a practical, affordable night between Oyatsu Town and our drive south. Free breakfast and nearby dinner choices made it work for our family. Choose it for value and convenience, not a stylish or newly furnished room.
The decision in a minute
- Best for: a simple road-trip stop or a modestly priced night near JR Kameyama Station.
- Tradeoffs we noticed: the room did not feel new, and waiting for the hotel’s single elevator could be annoying.
- Hotel’s current information: free parking (first come, limited spaces), breakfast from 6:30 to 9:00, and JR Kameyama Station about 12 minutes away on foot.
- We paid around ¥15,000 for our family over a September holiday. This is one historical booking, not a typical or guaranteed rate.
What we paid: About ¥15,000 (roughly US$95) for our family in the September holiday period. A weekday listing we saw on 23 September 2026 showed ¥7,200 (roughly US$46) for two adults on a Tuesday in October; that was not a verified quote for our family of four.

How it worked as a family stop
After the children had spent the day at Oyatsu Town, we wanted an uncomplicated place to sleep. The hotel is a conventional business hotel: our room’s fittings were not new, but for this stop the price and location mattered more. The one elevator sometimes meant a wait, particularly with family bags.
The hotel’s official page (Japanese) lists a free, first-come parking area and places JR Kameyama Station about 12 minutes away by foot. That makes a train arrival possible too, although our own trip was by car. Check room layout and child bedding terms for your group rather than assuming our arrangement matches yours.
Breakfast was better than we expected
Breakfast was included when we stayed. There were both bread and rice, scrambled eggs, sausages, curry, sesame-dressed spinach, salad, yogurt and aloe. The small Kameyama black-tea pudding after breakfast was my favorite local touch. The hotel lists breakfast as 6:30–9:00; dishes can change by day and guest numbers, so treat this as what we saw, not a fixed menu.
Dinner and a local drink next door
The surrounding area had plenty of approachable dinner options. We first tried two local places, but they were fully booked that evening. If you have a particular restaurant in mind on a holiday, book ahead. Instead we ate at Gusto (official English menu), a familiar Japanese family restaurant; a coupon brought my grilled chicken to about ¥600 at that time. That is my receipt-level experience, not a current menu price. Sato, Hama Sushi and Yoshinoya were also nearby options we noticed, though we did not eat at them.
Meal stop: Gusto in Kameyama
- My order: Grilled chicken.
- What I paid: About ¥600 after a coupon on our September 2026 visit.
- Where it fitted: Dinner after Oyatsu Town, while staying at Hotel Econo Kameyama.
- Why we chose it: The two local restaurants we tried were fully booked that evening.
For current dishes, see Gusto’s official English menu. The price above is our visit’s price; it is not a current offer.
Beside the hotel is Kameyama Echo shopping center. We visited its Sanshi supermarket and bought a carton of local Ouchiyama coffee milk. Drinking it after a bath back at the hotel was a modest but memorable bit of the trip. The supermarket’s official listing (Japanese) says the Kameyama Echo store opens 9:00–24:00; it is not open all night.
Would we book again?
Yes, for a value-focused stop when the itinerary matters more than the room. Someone who prioritizes fresh interiors or wants a spacious resort-style stay may feel differently. On the next morning we headed for food and walking at VISON, then a forest walk at Takihara Shrine and a more indulgent night at Kumano Club. The contrast was part of how we balanced the budget.
See our three-day Mie road trip for the route linking this inexpensive night with VISON, Takihara Shrine and Kumano.
