The hotel rooms had been recently renovated, so they were clean with decent facilities, including a bath. The service was top-notch, with attentive housekeeping and a welcoming drink upon arrival. The location was convenient, close to the train station, despite being adjacent to a petrol station and ploughed field. The dining experience included delicious udon noodles. Overall, a great stay with some minor drawbacks.
