For a Japanese hotel, the room was very spacious! It had all the amenities I needed, including free coffee and breakfast. They helped me with luggage forwarding to Osaka as well which is hugely helpful. The hotel is also in a nice location with easy access to multiple bus stops within walking distance. I would stay here again!
