The staff explained the details of the stay in detail. There is an exclusive parking space, but you need to pay for it, but the price is reasonable. There is an elevator, which is very convenient. There is also a free game console at the elevator entrance. The room is clean, with a washing machine, and there are many clothes drying racks. There is also a balcony for drying clothes. For us, it is a very good accommodation experience.

This is a traditional guest house with two rooms furnished in a classic Japanese style − comfortable and charming. Each room has a private toilet and sink, and the shared shower is lovely and kept very clean. The hosts are truly kind and go out of their way to help. The owner speaks English, which makes communication relatively easy. They also serve a generous, freshly prepared Japanese breakfast every morning − a real experience in itself. It’s a perfect place for those who are looking for a simple yet authentic stay that gives a real taste of Japanese culture.
