This hotel is very spacious compared with most Japanese hotels. This hotel is obviously older, and was probably very classy back in the 1990's, but many parts of the hotel are showing signs of wear. The breakfast was awesome and I definitely recommend adding it to your stay. There are also laundry machines available, but they are coin operated and the drier took forever to dry my jeans. There isn't much of a view from our room, but the hotel is very close to shopping areas and the castle.
