This stay was mixed. I’m no stranger to traveling in Japan, and have stayed in a wide variety of Japanese hotels, but this was the smallest room we’ve ever been booked into.
For context, the single bed met three of the four walls, the desk met directly to the side of the bed, and the remaining space didn’t quite have enough room for one suitcase (it wound up being stashed under the desk). The bathroom at least had the standard bidet, which is always nice. The bed itself was also surprisingly comfortable, where mattresses in many Japanese hotels are lacking. You can also choose your own pillow (if you get there fast enough).
The hotel itself is well-kept and the onsen is foreigner-friendly. The elevator situation is unfortunate, as it is a single, slow-moving elevator servicing 10+ floors, and the outside stairs are extremely precarious in the rain. Allow 15+ additional minutes to descend if you are in an upper floor. The location is also just far enough from any one train station to be a hassle.
The breakfast is odd. Rather than the usual Japanese or English-style breakfast, this place mixes and matches from across the globe. French pastries, Indian-style curry, karaage, pork cutlet, mackerel, broiled cabbage with pork, tofu, etc all make the rotation at least once. Staples like rice, salad and soup are always available too.
Overall not a bad stay but also not an amazing one. I’d return in a pinch, but wouldn’t actively seek out this specific location again.
