We paid over 50,000 yen for four people for two nights, so I didn’t find it especially good value. Still, it’s quiet and clean, and I’d recommend it to travelers without a car. There’s no parking at the property, but two coin lots are about 200 meters away. I thought about using the nearby eye clinic’s parking or the storage area attached to the building, but the landlord said not to, haha. The bed, sofa, table, fridge, and kitchen gear are all top-notch, and it’s hard to find an Airbnb this well equipped. The bathroom has modern fixtures, strong water pressure, and hot water that comes quickly. There’s a drum-style washer and a regular drying rack rather than a mechanical dryer, but with the air conditioner on, my laundry dried fine. The layout takes some getting used to. The accommodation is on the second and third floors, with the toilet upstairs and the shower downstairs, so you’re constantly going up and down narrow stairs.

We stayed here while visiting home with our child, and it felt easy to settle in, almost like being at our own place. The location is really good, with the zoo nearby where our child went to play every day, and the restaurant area is an easy walk too. We could relax without worrying about noise. The bath tap has strong flow, so the tub fills quickly, and there’s nearby parking, which meant we didn’t have to worry about the car.

The response was the worst.
