A weird way to start a review, but best feature of this hotel is free washers and dryers for guest use! You just have to buy soap at 100 yen per load. Just beware it may take 2 hours to dry clothes in dryer, and there can be a long queue to use them.
Room was very spacious, Western style but with the micro-bathroom you'd expect in Japan. Bed is a little hard, also as expected. Blanket was totally synthetic and made me sweat a ton overnight, even with window open at 50 degrees outside.
The staff was EXTREMELY helpful and kind. We were dealing with a lost phone on the Shinkanzen, and they called lost and found for us. They also had our luggage from the luggage forwarding ready for us when we arrived.
One downside is there are no restaurants or shops close by. For all meals we had to go back to the train station. But it's a fine walk that includes a pianist playing music in the underpass...only in Japan!
