Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Public bath requires full nudity — The public bath follows traditional Japanese onsen etiquette, meaning guests must undress completely. This may not suit everyone, though one reviewer noted it matches the pictures.
  • Check-in window ends at 22:00 — Guests must check in between 15:00 and 22:00. Late arrivals could be an issue, though the hotel offers luggage storage.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for those traveling with animals.
  • Some rooms have shared bathrooms — The Japanese-Style Shared Bathroom Room option means that not all rooms have private facilities, which could be a consideration for privacy.
