    Kuji was excellent. Enjoyed talking to him. Hopefully the younger members of staff can pick up on his English ability, should they be inclined. Had Kuji not been there we would have had little interaction with reception. Great origami skills too....

    Cosy little room but enough place for 2 people. Extremely helpful staff, I could wash the lothes for just 200Yen. Very quiet and very clean. Little bit far from the center but excellent public transport possibilities
