My stay was pleasant overall, but a few improvements would help future guests.
The hotel is located high on a hill, which can be challenging with luggage, and signage is minimal—a very small Japanese-only sign makes the entrance easy to miss. Rooms and shared bathrooms may be on different floors, so you might need to use the stairs at night. The no-shoe policy fits the building, but the provided slippers are quite slippery, especially on stairs; safer ones would be appreciated.
The elevator is only for luggage, so accessibility may be an issue. In the shared toilet area, there was no seat disinfectant or soap for the small sink. My room had only two outlets, so an outlet extender would help. A kettle is provided, but no tea or coffee, which would be a nice touch for the price.
Check-in is limited to 3–8 PM and wasn’t clearly stated. Directions were unclear, and the Google Maps link provided didn’t work. Breakfast, offered at an extra cost, was nice but had no tea or coffee. Communication focused heavily on rules, which felt a bit unwelcoming.
With a few adjustments, the stay could be much more comfortable.
