decent stay overall
friendly staff comfortable bed decent room noisy air conditioner cold air outside noise
the staff was always friendly. they greeted me when i entered the reception area. the bed and pillows were comfortable. the room was also a decent size. i thought the value for money was good for the few nights i stayed.
the air conditioner made noises when it was on and off. i think all rooms might have the same issue. their solution was to open the window at night. this lets in noise and cold air from outside.

Excellent amenities and attentive staff
evening sake vegan options helpful staff
The location was very good near the station. The hotel provided a complimentary sake tasting at the bar each evening, which i found pleasant. The breakfast had vegan options, a nice balance to the traditional choices. The staff helped when i had forgotten some jewelry at my previous hotel.
The air conditioner did not have enough controls and was blowing warm air. I found it difficult to adjust the room temperature to a comfortable level. A small fan was provided, but it was not adequate.
