The overall hotel is very nice with a great rooftop bar to end the night and very clean. Our room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. It is also walking distance to some of the best shopping we did the entire trip. Will stay here again for sure.

The staff was so nice and went above and beyond to make sure that there was no wait time, the elevator door was open as I walked up, and always had a smile. I don’t speak fluent Japanese and they helped me through every process and questions I had. The rooms were spacious and elegant.
