Not the best hotel, pictures don’t do justice, the building itself is in poor condition the bed and pillow really uncomfortable. Will not be staying there again and it is too far from tourist attractions.

It was fine for two nights, but like all Japanese hotel rooms it’s super small, more suitable for one person as we were 2, and with suitcase we were on top of each other. That being said, at least the room had a window and the room was super clean
