Nobody spoke more than 5 words of English so communication involved pantomime and poor translation with apps. Staff seemed stressed and not very friendly. The only place I've stayed in Asia without filtered water accessible to guests--to get it, the desk staff has to take your bottle and walk across two rooms and back. They will keep your luggage but only until 3pm--after that you're no SOL. Dinner was the most expensive and least tasty food we had the whole trip, served in a room with the ambience of an 80's Residence Inn conference room. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it to a friend. We stayed multiple other places that were less expensive but had friendly staff who spoke English and were more considerate about the logistics of traveling with luggage.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It's convenient to the train, subway and buses. The room was spacious for a family of four with separate enclosed areas for the toliet and shower/bath. The futon matresses were comfortable and relaxing. Sleeping with their robes was cool and soothing. Love their traditional breakfast and take away coffee. The staff was greeted us as exited and entered the premises. Will come back in the future.

Great location, excellent staff, very close to station, shops and restaurants. Would recommend a western bed rather than sleeping traditional style on the floor but that was totally our choice. Bath facilities downstairs are great and can book private couples baths. View was poor and aircons for building next door noisy through closed windows.

Room was spotless, amenities were wonderful. The rooms are big enough for large suitcases which we greatly appreciated! It is conveniently located just a few blocks from the main station. A bit further away from main turist attractions but transportation is pretty accesible. Having a few extra pillows would've been nice as we were provided with just one small one, but we understand this was a traditional ryokan. The onsen was also super nice and they have a tattoo friendly onsen.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Pros- Clean, no smells or stains. Easy to get to from the train. Staff was very nice and they offer welcome tea & cookies. Bathroom was roomy with good counterspace, however I didn’t use the shower, only the public bath since I was there for 1 night. Laundry is fast and conveniently located next to the public bath. Tea and water provided in room. There’s a fridge as well but didn’t use it. Cons- Dark pathway to walk to the hotel. I got there around 830pm and was a solo traveler. It was hard to navigate their heater. I slept with the AC on and was SO cold. Only stayed 1 night, so I didn’t get to fully settle in to give a solid review.

The property is good, but there is a problem with Expedia booking system with the hotel. It charged 100 dollars extra per night. It was the only hotel after 12 days that gave us problem. Also, the hotel asked us to call Expedia as they didn’t speak English; Expedia didn’t have any translator to Japanese either. It was an embarrassing, time consuming, and cost effective experience. Bad experience
