Stay for 6,300 yen per night including breakfast.There is a large public bath for men. However, it is small with 3 washing areas. Breakfast is inferior compared to major hotel chains.Considering the price, this is what I would expect.

Convenient as it is 300m from the station and has a large parking lot.The front desk is very responsive and the rooms are clean and comfortable.There seems to be no hot water in the baths from 10:00 to 15:00, so be careful when staying for multiple nights.
