This hotel is in the midst of it and most places can be reached by walking. If not walking, then the subway station is located conveniently in about a 5 min walk to the hotel. …

This is probably the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at! Beautiful rooms, very professional staff (who cam also speak English for non Japanese speakers), several fantastic restaurants nearby, and the hotel has an on-site onsen. It has a very traditional vibe, and also offers an amazing breakfast service. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone without hesitation.

I like everything about this hotel except the size of the room we stay. It’s a king bed room and it’s way tooo small.
