In the double deluxe room, the full classic Japanese bath was the highlight. It is unusual to find a classic Japanese bath in a western style hotel. (The single rooms have “unit baths”)
The hotel seems to be renovating little by little. The bed linens were high grade and the wall paper was new. The wifi was reliable. There was a small refrigerator in this room, which was a welcome surprise. The carpet was worn, due for renewal.
It is the only hotel in Jiyugaoka and a short walk to the train station.
No room service or dining in the hotel, but it is surrounded by restaurants. Nearby chain cafes open by about 7a.m.
