"We started five nights. Very friendly staff and helpful. The location is accessible to many restaurants and shopping centers. We loved the onsen bath which was a plus after a long day sightseeing. However I’d prefer a larger closet. Only thing was the closet size. I recommend the premier and up if you are looking for larger room. All and all I’d start there again."

"The owner Tomi is extremely attentive and will provide you with a multitude of services within and around the guest house. The traditional Japanese rooms are located on the second floor up a VERY STEEP set of stairs, keep that in mind for luggage and beverages. The onsen around the corner is super nice and you’re nearby to both JR station and local subways. Tomi also cooks egg breakfast sandwiches daily 7-9 am, has tea, coffee, and cold water/electric kettle available anytime. 12-5 pm is cleaning hours and you cannot stay in the building during this time as far as I’m aware."
