What makes Asama-san's place great is Asama-san herself. She made sure I had everything I needed and was so friendly, even making me tea and traditional Japanese sweets.
The room came with everything I needed (wi-fi, hair dryer, tv, etc), I could wash my clothes downstairs, and there was a large supermarket nearby for essential shopping.
My only problem was actually finding the place. I'd jumped in a taxi because I didn't have google maps, but my taxi driver couldn't find it.
