Rooms are tiny — really tiny! In all other ways, the hotel is a class act with an excellent staff. I’d stay again in a heartbeat.

Would give a 3.5. The room is small (standard for Japan) and clean. But has no true window only a frosted pane of glass that doesn’t let much light in and you can’t see out of. Temperature is locked above 20c - also standard in Japan, except for the fact that the AC was so weak that in actuality the temperature never got below 23/24C. For the price it wasn’t disappointing but wouldn’t stay again.
