The neighborhood was wonderfully quiet, and the hotel itself was amazing and spotlessly clean. It was a unique experience staying there. The location was a little tricky to find at night, though.

Amazing location! Close to a train station, 7/11, and an awesome cafe for breakfast. Uber was super easy to use. The room had that perfect Japanese vibe, and the kids loved the bath.

Loved the Japanese feel! The tatami room was so peaceful, and the little kitchen was a nice bonus. We wish we'd had time to use the onsen; the bento box breakfasts were delicious!
