The door to the room does not lock automatically, so you must lock it when you enter.This is something you tend to forget if you are used to modern hotels.The facilities seem old, with the sink having double taps, but it was well-cleaned and I didn't find any mold or anything.

Book online 2 weeks in advance. 7500 yen per night. The building itself is old. However, like other Route Inns, it is undergoing renovations. Next is replacing the carpet. The type that can be opened with a key, not an automatic lock. The large public bath has 6 washing areas and a morning bath.
