What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious Living

The room was huge, featuring a separate kitchen with a stove, fridge, and all necessary appliances. It was a refreshing change from smaller hotel rooms I've stayed in across Japan. The dining space and bedroom both felt quite spacious, making my stay so comfortable.

Comfy Beds

The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring I had a great night’s sleep every night. It felt like a home away from home, and I loved coming back to such a cozy atmosphere after a day of sightseeing.

Adequate Breakfast

The hotel breakfast, though simple, was adequate to start my day. There was free-flowing coffee, juice, and pastries. It felt like just the right amount to fuel my adventures in the morning.
