Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No parking on site — The hotel does not list parking facilities. If you're driving, you'll need to find public parking nearby, which may come at an extra cost.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is available from 15:00 to 23:59. If you arrive after midnight, you'll need to coordinate with the 24-hour reception, but the standard window is limited.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make alternative arrangements if travelling with an animal.
  • Rooms may feel compact for some — While many guests find rooms spacious by Japanese standards, the Moderate and Economic room categories are likely smaller. Budget-conscious travellers should check room dimensions before booking.
