    The place was sooo clean. I enjoyed the authentic Japanese feel. Loved the dinner! It was great to have someone explain the dinning process. We didn’t even mind sharing the restroom and showers they still felt private and clean.

    We loved our stay here! It’s like a mix of a hostel and a ryokan. The host was so helpful, ensuring we had the right plan using the buses to get where we needed to go. It is the perfect location, too. I would absolutely stay here again.
