We stayed there 6 nights and loved there. The room 303 was spacious - especially in Japan. Original decoration - truly living in art, great modern bathroom, and very accommodating and plesant staff. Close to everything with bus stop&7eleven just outside. Laundry less than 5 min walk. Great coffee area and coffee itself - breakfast options are quite limited, but again, the staff was very accommodating in terms of food requirements. We stayed in 3 hotels in Japan so far, and this was our favourite. They also have bar and little art gallery on the ground floor.

Absorb all the luck and fortune in five yen room
I entered the room and was awestrucked that we were greeted by the numerous five yens that were glued on the wall, ceiling, floor, all over the room. They also offered 2 five yens in the room with tools for guests to glue them to the wall to add to the artwork. Air-con temperature was nice and moisted, sound proof was well done as can’t hear much when room is facing the street. Room size is bigger than usual, location is about 7-mins walk from city center. Only down side was no bathtub in the room.
