the rooms was quite spacious for japan standards. its location is fairly central and near popular areas and attractions. it had good access to public transport. the hotel had complimentary drinks each evening, a nice bonus.
The breakfast selection wasnt very large, especially for a longer stay. there was no proper wardrobe space in my room. the view from the breakfast room overlook the street. I preferred a more scenic view.
