My room had a tea set. I enjoyed it (especially the matcha). The hotel offered luggage storage before check-in. The room temperature was adjustable, and that was very CONVENIENT. The tv displayed the public bath status. This helped me avoid crowded times.
The pillow provided was too soft.

excellent hotel near the station

convenient locationmultilingual stafflarge roomcomfortable bed
the location was very convenient being a short walk from the train station. the multilingual staff managed our luggage shipment to the next location. the room was surprisingly large, especially compared to other japanese hotels. i slept very well in what may have been the best hotel bed i have ever experienced.
The bathroom trash bin was quite small. It could barely hold a few items.
