Practical but with Japanese-style features.
This hotel offered a great breakfast (choice of Japanese or Western food) which was included in the price but only costs 200 yen if you had to pay for it. Seating for breakfast is on the floor, Japanese style, and this whole hotel is a place where you need to take your shoes off as you enter. I had to take a smoking room but there was nothing smoky about it. Current cleanliness was fine, but the carpets throughout the hotel sure could use replacement. There was a toilet and sink in each room, but bathing is in a shared bathing room... one for men and one for women. This was not particularly appealing to me but I went with it. The main thing is to wash your body in the stool/shower area and don't get dirt or soap in the soaking tub. I did not use the soaking tub at all. I was travelling with my 6 year old daughter and thank goodness on the first day some wonderful stranger woman spent about 45 minutes of her time to help my daughter bathe. This is something to think about if you are travelling with family, as men cannot enter the women's bathing room and limited bathing hours prevent sneaking in there at 3:00 AM as I had hoped to do. There was coin-operated washers and dryers for laundry.
