This is a great place to stay. Great location that is close to a lot of things I wanted to be near. Train station was close by.
The kitchen amenities are great. Especially if you intend to save a bit of money and cook at home instead of eating out for every meal. They provide these very useful food steaming bags. It was messy, but we successfully made rice in a bag, so they really do work! Our kitchen even had some cooking oil and salt - assuming from previous stays. We bought black pepper and left it behind for the next! TIP: my fave grocery store - Marusho. A casual 10min walk west. There is a fresh store (produce and cold items) and a separate dry store (rice, spices, oil, tea, etc) that is just around the corner from the fresh store.
I love Japanese washrooms & toilets. Who doesn’t love a heated toilet seat first thing in the morning?! The water pressure was amazing and you get hot water promptly.
The washer works well. The drying feature doesn’t actually heat dry the clothes, it’s just a spin-dry feature. The instructions state you have to run a 60min drying cycle 3 times for thin fabrics. So if you book this take that into consideration. With hang drying all clothes, I was very grateful for the iron & board.
The dehumidifier feature on the air conditioner is slow, but it works. Just need patience. Best for those staying in the warmer temps. It works only by cooling the air at 2*C less than the set room temp - it can get pretty cold.
