Delicious Breakfast Option

During my stay, I opted for the Japanese breakfast, which included miso soup with pork, rice, and a variety of seasonal dishes. The half buffet also had nori, natto, pickles, and salad. I truly enjoyed starting my day with this hearty meal and a fresh cup of coffee.

The room I stayed in, while compact, was clean and tidy. I found the bed quite comfortable, which made for a great night's sleep after a long day of exploring. The amenities located next to the elevator added convenience for my tea time in the room.

Compact Yet Functional Bathroom

The bathroom was compact, which is typical for hotels in Japan, but it did not compromise on functionality. It had everything I needed for a refreshing start to my day. Despite its size, it was well-maintained and served its purpose effectively.
