We got a very spacious room with 5 individual beds. The room is very nicely designed with two sleeping areas, a separate office corner with full privacy, and a little living area. My kids absolutely love it. It's the best hotel room we stayed during our Japan trip.

10/10 Exceptional

This was the last leg of our 8 day trip to Japan and Wayfarer didn’t disappoint. Checking was easy, all the staff was very courteous and helpful. The room we stayed at was modern and had the perfect touches for a pleasant experience. The hotel is conveniently located in a quiet and safe neighborhood, within walking distance from the Nishiki Market (15 min walk). Highly recommend.

The Wayfarer was the perfect base to travel from and very clean and spacious. I could have spent my whole trip just relaxing in the space! The staff were also foreigner friendly and very knowledgeable and kind. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.
