amazing breakfastsconvenient locationused tatami matslimited space
the breakfasts were amazing with both japanese and western options. the location was conveniently close to a train station for getting around. i appreciated that multiple shrines were within walking distance.
i noticed the tatami mats and walls all looked somewhat used. the space to move around was not comfortable despite it seemed spacious. the cleanliness could be better.

The staff were very kind and helpful. I found that they shipped a bag that a friend left behind directly to her home after we had gone to Tokyo. My room was spacious and included everything I needed.
I felt that the walls looked slightly used.
