Why do I have to give 1 star as a minimum which is still overrated for this property? Long story short - DO NOT STAY HERE. Property is run down beyond repair, the owner doesn’t want your business, simply the worst property I ever tried in Japan.

This place must have had its charm back in the day. It looked dusty and tired. The manager was grumpy. I understand he was an old school gentleman. However, he seemed to be bother by every comment or question. Not welcoming at all. Skip this one. Find a hotel near the train station.
