It was a great place to stay. The room was clean and spacious by Japanese standards. The bed was very comfortable as were the pillows and the duvet. The location was only a couple of blocks from the train station with shopping and restaurants. Great place to stay! Enjoyed it and would definitely recommend and stay again.
