First of all, I was very kind when I first met him, and I was very grateful that he checked in early to make it easier for travelers. What is disappointing is that there is no front desk. However, it was very nice that they said they would take immediate action if I texted them to show their concern. When you first enter, you will be very happy with the old-fashioned tatami mats. I highly recommend staying for a day or two.
