The staff extended a warm welcome with traditional Japanese snacks and tea during check-in. The room was spacious and quiet. This contributed to a restful atmosphere.
The location was a bit far from the main attractions. It meant relying on buses or taxis, and the comfort of the room could have been better. Improvements could be made.
