Takeshi's place was great to stay at. While it is very noisy, I was expecting this beforehand but you are provided with excellent quality earplugs, and I had no trouble sleeping with those in. The space was clean and the bed comfortable, and good value for money. Amenities are shared but this was never an issue. Ryo is very welcoming in the bar downstairs whenever you return home, is a great chef and very knowledgeable about sake, so I would recommend having a meal there if you get a chance.
