The people and accommodation were good.4 stars because the stairs were steep and the hallway to the second floor toilet made a creaking noise that made it difficult to get there.

I came here after making a reservation in advance!I came alone, so I had fun chatting with other people at the counter♪Your personal room is just for sleeping, but you can relax in the common space with a kotatsu! (I fell asleep here and rushed to my private room! LOL)If you are early the next morning, you might be concerned about the voices on the first floor, but it was a nice accommodation 👍👍
