Yes, the owners are incredibly sweet, friendly and helpful, but the building is very outdated and basic. It looks like it has not changed since the mid 1970's inside and out.

This also looks like it has not been maintained in decades. They serve both Japanese-style breakfast and dinner, which are plentiful, but rather average tasting. So, for me, while the owners are a great source of tips about the sights in the local area, it could not make up for the overall condition of the hotel.||||Pros: wonderful, friendly, helpful owners||||Cons: outdated property,...

But English informations are fully prepared, you'll...
