It's cheap, you can smoke, breakfast is included, you can eat in the area, and it's right in front of the pier to Hotel Urashima.It's great if you just want to sleep without meals.

It's reasonably priced and comes with a bathroom.It's OK to arrive late at night, there's a large free parking lot next door, and there are many dinner restaurants nearby, so it's very convenient.The breakfast bread and coffee is just that, but it's a nice service.There is no public bath. There is also a public bathing facility near the port called Hamayu (400 yen).It seems that guests can enter the private bathing facility ``Sagon no Yu'' for free, which is located 2.4 km away, near Yukashi Lagoon (it is a hut).You can borrow a key from the hotel counter.There is only parking space for one car at the destination, so (unless someone comes in without permission) the parking space will be reserved for those in front of you, including the time it takes to get there and back.

The location is very good, close to the station and downtown area. It was also nice to be able to see the sea from the room. WIFI is not fast, but it is acceptable. Although it's a bit old, it's clean and comfortable enough for just sleeping. Breakfast is just bread and coffee, but since the lively market is nearby, breakfast with tuna sashimi is no problem. There was also plenty of parking next door. It is not suitable for leisure activities for families. Perfect for solo travelers or business travelers.

You can see Katsuura Port from your room, and the boats bound for Hotel Urashima are coming and going. It's a great location where you can feel the travel spirit.The room is small, but its narrowness makes it perfect.For a bath, go to the public bath in Urashima.Although it was on the 5th floor, Wi-Fi was connected comfortably.
