Access to the front entrance is a little difficult to understand, but this is not a negative factor. Check-in is quick and simple, and although it doesn't have any fancy or modern new features, it has everything you need, and it's close to the station, so you can walk for shopping!I made a reservation on the same day as I was touring in the late summer heat, and it was more comfortable than I expected. I will repeat it.

Perfect for a budget trip to Hikone.At first I was a little scared because it was in a Showa style, but after about 2 hours I started to feel at home.The room is small, so be prepared to go back to sleep and be prepared to hear the shower as the walls are thin. It can't be helped that the tissues are pocket tissues.

Free washing machine and 100 yen for 60 minutes of drying is cheap! !kind! They lent me a needle and scissors and I was able to fix my torn backpack!You can make a reservation on the same day, the price is cheap, and it's near the station!I was able to buy a little food for a late night snack, and there was a supermarket 10 minutes away so I didn't have to worry about finding food.I only gave the room a 3 star because the water in the room was a little tasteless and the feathers on the futon seemed to fly out easily.The service was great! ! !

The cost performance is the best.It's small, but if you just want to sleep, it's no problem.At 12 o'clock in the morning, the water heater stopped working and there was no hot water.I couldn't find the entrance, so I wandered around by car for 10 minutes.There is a sense of cleanliness.I can hear the air conditioner without any problems.

Used for solo touringChoose a cheaper room without a washlet or refrigeratorIt was comfortable with an air conditioner, TV, table, unit bath, and kettle!It was empty and there were a lot of clouds, so I was directed to a covered parking lot, but I parked it next to the entrance, thinking it wouldn't rain, but when I checked out and came out, I tied up a blue bicycle seat. It was fastened and covered. Thank you very much.

I used it because I was traveling by train and it was within a 5 minute walk from the station.It cannot be denied that it is relatively old. The hem of the curtain in the bathroom was torn, but it has been cleaned and appears to be clean.There are few restaurants nearby, and there is a 7-Eleven convenience store, but you have to walk quite a bit to get there.Note paper and pen were not provided in the room, so I forgot to bring a pen to take notes about my trip, so I was disappointed that I couldn't use it.However, lodging prices are high in the Kyoto area, and in Kyoto city there is an extra 200 yen accommodation tax, so I decided to go a little further on Saturday and Sunday, but I was glad that I was able to stay at a reasonable price of 3,700 yen for a single room without meals.

The facilities are old, but it was reasonably priced because it was right in front of the station.
