Loved by guests
"The room was really spacious even with European standards, the staff was really kind but they didn't speak good English but this is a general problem in Japan."
"The highlight of staying at this hotel is the location - extremely conveniently located for access, and it has a convenience store right next to it."
"The breakfasts are a great example of traditional Japanese breakfasts, with miso soup, rice, pickles, vegetables and fish."
