I chose this hotel mainly because the price is right and the space is relatively large. It has two beds and a tatami space that can sleep three people. We are a family of four and living here is relatively comfortable.
However, after actually checking in, I found that the biggest problem with this hotel is that the sound insulation on the floors is very poor, and the noise from upstairs can be heard. On the first night, the people living upstairs made three loud noises in the middle of the night. I don't know if they were people falling or throwing things, and then I heard people cursing. I was awakened three times in my sleep. Although there were no problems like the first day in the next two days, the sound of people walking upstairs could be heard. Especially on the third night, there must have been a small but walking child living upstairs, and I was woken up several times by the sound of the child walking throughout the night. I didn't sleep well these three nights.
The hotel is quite old. To communicate with hotel staff, it is still difficult to communicate in English if you don't know Japanese. You can smell strong chemicals when bathing in hot springs. I'm not sure if this is normal in Japan, but I personally don't like it.
