A Sanctuary of Delight

The room decor feels modern. The shower and bath facilities are really great with the rainfall shower head. The twin beds had very comfortable mattresses and pillows. The hotel had drinks and pastries available all day in the lobby and I find it cute after a long day.

The only small problem I encounter is I had to wait to use the washers and dryers on the first floor.

The hotel had freshly milled coffee. Various breads were offered, including some very tasty baked goods. The room felt big for a hotel in Japan! The service staff were knowledgeable, and quite friendly too.

The room was very small, and felt a bit impractical for two people.

The hotel provided free pastries, bread, coffee and juice which was acceptable.

The shower had issues. The temperature fluctuated between hot and cold without warning. It was really annoying. Plus, the room size felt a bit cramped. Maneuvering with luggage proved challenging.
