This sort of secondary or Northern Annex of the APA was a great location. We were travelling to the F1 GP in Suzuka and used this APA as a homebase for all of our tourism and events. The fact that it as a block away from the main building was actually nice since there was less foot traffic and noise coming from the Lawson and Restaurants. As most Japanese rooms, it was small but very clean and full of all the necessities one would need. This site also had a modern style onsen and bath. Made great use of the Laundry machine although it took some planning to use it on the Second Floor as we were on the Tenth Floor. There were 5 restaurants within 50 ft of the hotel entrance but none were as loud as the Lawson and Bar at the main building. The train station was about 2 or 4 block away depending on the route taken. You can walk the short route and only pass 2 or 3 businesses. While walking the long way would lead you past dozens of restaurants and stores offering everything from Electronic Megastore to Hobby Store to Cafes and Small Local Shrines. Great Stay, Great Price!
