Short walking distance from lots of main shopping you find yourself doing in Japan and close to lots of popular shrines and temples by walk and bus as well. A tiny bit of a trek to the closest train station especially in the hot summer.. Facility was nice and clean, loved the complimentary coffee and tea and staff were very nice and helpful, especially with luggage forwarding.

Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful. Could easily walk to the train and the bus stop was right up the block. We ended up walking a bunch, as there was so much within a mile or two from the hotel. Highly recommend.
