We chose this stay to make a visit to a nearby nighttime festival easier. We were very pleased to be greeted with a friendly welcome, and some English, which was an immediate comfort given our limited Japanese skill. The hotel is modest, but the room was clean and comfortable. And quiet. It is conveniently located to the train station and many restaurants and tourist locations. They kindly held our luggage for us after checkout, so we could visit to our local destinations without carrying our luggage. Our stay was short, so we did not need to take advantage of any of the accommodation such as laundry, but the shower was a welcome treat with great water pressure. Recommend!
