If you're not necessarily looking for "luxury", you can't go wrong with this little hotel. We stayed in a western style room on the first night and in a Japanese style room for a second. The rooms were clean and the bed sheets, too. Japanese style rooms have a characteristic odor that takes a few minutes to get used to (most likely due to the tatami) but they're MUCH more spacious than western style rooms and very comfortable and certainly a unique experience that I recommend, especially if you've never stayed at a "minshuku". Last but certainly not least, the staff is utterly polite, helpful and kind. We were out of words to thank them enough with.
