“The traditional Japanese rooms, complete with tatami mats, offer a spacious alternative to typical Japanese accommodations. While the staircase can be a bit steep with luggage, the staff are reportedly accommodating. I found the location quite convenient for getting around, and the shared bathrooms were clean.”
