The location of the hotel is actually walking distance from the station. Once you located the hotel, it's not far at all. The nearby environment is quiet but safe. The hotel staff were all very helpful. We had two consecutive but separate booking from Hotels.com and they tried their best to accommodate our request of staying in the same room through the stay. Thank you very very much for your kindness and help :) The room was not huge as expected in most of the hotels in Japan. But it was undoubtedly clean and tidy. Definitely a good choice for the budget and the location.
