This place is small, but it makes up for it with charm. A short 10 minute walk from a station and mini-mart, it's easy to miss it off the main street. The rooms are tiny, but I don't need a lot of space when I travel. The mattresses/futons are the most comfortable in Japan, and breakfast in the morning was always excellent. The bathrooms are incredibly small, so for a big American guy, they were a challenge, especially the one lone shower room on each floor. There was about 6 inches of space between the door to the hallway and the 5 sqft shower space, leaving little choice but to undress in a wet shower, because someone else usually just took one, and in to a waste bucket for your clothes between you and the shower. It's my only real gripe, but then again, you aren't living here, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming.
