Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is wonderfully located under the overpass bridge and close to an awesome temple/pagoda. The rooms are very spacious and beautiful, making for a great stay, but the hotel's location could be a drawback.
The hotel offers spacious and beautiful rooms, very nice for Japan standards, but the location under the overpass bridge can be a drawback. The service provided by the friendly and helpful staff with a welcome drink included was fantastic.
The hotel is situated under the overpass bridge, which is quite unique, and is close to an awesome temple or pagoda. The rooms are very spacious and beautiful, incredibly clean, and impressively big by Japanese standards. The staff are really friendly and helpful, providing a warm welcome drink upon arrival. However, the hotel's location may not suit everyone's taste.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, quite big by Japanese standards, and the overall ambiance was very nice for Japan. The service was fantastic with really friendly and helpful staff, and the welcome drink was a nice touch. However, I did find the location under the overpass bridge a bit odd, except for the proximity to an awesome temple/pagoda close to the hotel.
