I went there at the end of February. I seemed to have forgotten to turn on the heating on the first day. It was super cold. However, I remembered it in the following days.There is Daikokuyu nearby, and there are convenience stores and bus stops within a five-minute walk.

Others, including foreigners and Japanese, have also mentioned that the service is terrible. Hong Kong people who work part-time overnight are overweight, but because they walk around in the middle of the night, they get a lot of flies. Japanese ladies are the worst kind of people, and their behavior changes depending on the person and their mood. The worst person would be the owner. He was like a gangster who wouldn't open the door, got angry when I called him, and kept calling me over and over again.
