    Staff couldn’t have been helpful and exceptionally polite. Small modern boutique ryokan accomodation. Very close location to train and safe neighbourhood to stay in. Lots of convenience stores close by and easy walk to the city.

    Lovely ‘zen’ hotel. Our room was more like a studio with fridge and microwave. The mini bar was free. Lovely staff. Great roof top bath. The staff made it a great experience.

    The property has a traditional ambience but with modern comforts. Its location is a walk away to some tourist spots and is next to a subway station but does not feel hectic at all. Most of all, the staff are very friendly and helpful.
