.This was the best place I stayed in Japan, so much I asked to extend my stay. The room was incredibly big for a Japanese hotel, the bed was comfy and heated. The common area allowed me to connect and meet people while still enjoy the private of my own bedroom and bathroom. I will definitely come back if given the chance
