The hotel is basic but very nice and functional. Excellent location for tourists sites and great restaurants. They even offer in room massage after a long day.

Great location, across the street from Lawson , walking to the main area , train station a little bit of a walk 10mins maybe, there is no sign in English for the hotel so hard to find at first but right next to cafe and directly across from Lawsons. Down side is no laundry and no pool or any amenities. Room is a good size big for Japan and the rooms are actually sound proof
