Excellent location, friendly staff, simple free

Excellent location, easy accessible by local bus and train, many eateries n convenient store within 5-10minutes walking distance. Simple breakfast was provided. Just the odor smell wasn't so good since we got the smoking floor, n the room size is small as space is so precious for Japan. otherwise everything else is great. Would consider returning for next trip.
