charming stay!

shopping streetquick walkeasy accessroom design

I loved this hotel. the shopping street below was so convenient! nikishi market was a quick four-minute walk. several large shopping centers were only six to seven minutes away. I appreciated this proximity. the nearby buses offered easy access to various destinations.

The room design had some quirks. Entering the bathroom first felt unusual. you had to walk through the bathroom to reach the bedroom, passing through a flimsy sliding door, a bit odd.
