  • No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted, which may be a drawback for those traveling with animals.

“The room was the most spacious I've had in Japan, spotlessly clean, with a clever layout that separated the toilet and bath. The location is unbeatable—subway station across the street and convenience stores nearby. The public baths were a definite highlight: relaxing and never crowded.”

“Our twin room had climate control, a safe, and a flat-screen TV. Having a bath in the private bathroom was a bonus. The hotel sits right next to popular sights, a restaurant, and a train station.”
