Unfortunately we walked here from the station in the rain, only to have to stagger up the front stairs with our suitcases, we later discovered that there is a lift in the carpark, underneath. The check in clerk was quite abrupt but the other staff we encountered were pleasant and helpful. As with all the hotels we have stayed in, in Japan, the room was small but well equipped. There was no need to bring any toiletries on this trip. The bed was quite low but very comfortable When we checked out we left our luggage at reception, every hotel, so far, has been happy to do this. As it was still pouring with rain, we ate dinner in the hotel restaurant. The waiter was lovely and tried his best to inform us of everything. This was an interesting, enjoyable, experience. We had no idea what was going to arrive at the table next, all beautifully presented and delicious, although the squid was a bit tough. A really good meal
