"The room was larger than expected and the hotel offered a lot of amenities! The breakfast was amazing blending of international cuisine and changed daily! It’s close proximity to both the train and bus stations allowed for easy exploration of both the city and Japan! Two things of note: the hotel room can feel stuffy due the humidity and the room we stayed in could use some upgrades. Overall our stay was great and don’t forget to try the local banana jam (bought two jars home with me)!!!"
