We travelled to Japan with our family of 5 for a short trip.
Price: $1505.05 for 8 days
Distance to shops/restaurants:
- Close to train station and 7/11 and supermarket - far from main city and limited lines that travel to accomodation
Size of room:
- Room sizes are average. Good sized beds. However not alot of space if you include your luggage.
- Bathroom is very tiny. The door almost touches your knees when sitting.
Features of room:
2 bedrooms. 1 has 2 queen sized beds and the other has 1 queen sized bed.
The shower is really old and could do with renovations as the rest of the apartment is modern looking. Also with families you need a separate area to undress before you enter the shower as its abit awkward getting undressed near the kitchen as its open.
Wifi: pocket wifi available. Good speed. Easy to connect.
Service:
Self check-in. The host is very responsive on the air bnb app. Instructions provided on how to get to the accomodation which was a great touch. However clearer user manual would be nice for use of water heater.
Condition of room: Clean and well kept. Unfortunately there is always a smell from the toilet.
Best feature: Very close to train station. Good sized rooms.
Worst feature: No elevator so we had to carry 5 peoples bags up 3 flights of stairs. Location is out of the main train line and not part of the JR line so you have to catch a separate train and rail passes won’t work for those trains.
Alot of rules with fines attached including noise, which is hard to maintain with children.
Overall was a good stay. Would recommend packing light as you will have to walk up and down 3 flights of stairs. Not recommended for people that are unable to walk up safely.
