Our stay was amazing and Takashi was extremely responsive and very helpful in all his dealings with us.
Pros:
1. Bathroom was amazing. Bathtub was bigger and an average Japanese one. Tons of bath salts and all other usual bathing essentials and toiletries were available.
2. Location is ideal. Walking distance to the temple with plenty of shops as well as the train station but still far enough to be peaceful and is in a quite neighbourhood.
3. FOOD. There is a plethora of local restaurants. Two of them literally next door and about 20 within 5 minutes walking distance.
4. Check in is easy and accessible 24/7 (with 2 smart keys provided)
5. Free pocket WiFi included that can come in handy for those with no or low data allowance on their phones.
Cons:
1. Place doesn’t show up on G oogle or Apple maps. Not too far from where the maps lead you (I can’t share location details)
2. It’s quite small and one room will be taken up with luggage for any international travellers (A ok for 2)
