The first night I was there, I could smell the smoke from the nearby smoking room, each time it was used. The second day, the staff moved me to a room on the other half of the floor, which I very much appreciated. I took a downgrade in bed size, but I could live with that. The room was small but pretty comfortable; there was only one toilet per floor but I only had to wait to use it once; showers were a bit small and had nowhere to hang your towel (aside from in the shower) but the water pressure was great. The TV had wireless headphones, although I couldn't find the HDMI slots as the TV was firmly up against the wall. Tochigi was lovely; I spent a little time one day hiking on the "fat, flat mountain" (I'm not sure what it's actual name is..futo hei yama? 😂); I rode the train into Nikko one day and into Gunma another day and wound up eating at the Sukiya 3 of the 5 days I was there (and conbini, the other days). And there was 110en Pepsi and Mtn. Dew in a nearby vending machine. All in all, good stuff.
