I made a reservation on Agoda and used it. The result is terrible. The image of the pension is completely ruined. The floor of the aisle is so sloppy that it looks like it's going to collapse. The bathroom in the room is so small that you can't move around. I used to stay in places like this and I felt sorry for myself. Agoda is a liar. The listed price is a complete lie! ! It comes with extra extras and is very expensive! I will never book anything on Agoda again! !

Checked in on November 4, 2023. When checking in at night, a female elder patiently explained that this part is great and the bathing place is good, but there is nothing else. When I opened the shoe cabinet, it got stuck on the door sensor door. Fortunately, the glass was not broken. Drop it, otherwise you will really have to pay compensation. I got up at about 4 o'clock in the middle of the night and went to the bathroom. When I walked back to the door, the door was locked! ! ! When I walked to the first floor, there was no one at the counter. From about 04:30 to 06:56 (approximately), I was ringing the bell + shouting + catching a cold at the counter. No service staff came at all. Even at dawn, some tenants were locked out of the gate and could not come in. , a group of check-out guests couldn't find the exit. When it was almost 7 o'clock, the young service staff got up and came down from the second floor. After learning that I was locked out of the room, he only said "ごめ" to deal with the matter. I couldn't accept it. I have stayed here many times in Japan, and it is the most ridiculous and worst accommodation I have ever encountered. If you want to stay here, please think about it before placing an order.
