rakuna Inn hare Kinshi2

Plenty of hot water and a spacious room, with the subway and shopping malls very close by. The location is great, although the entrance is easy to miss and took some searching. There’s no place to store luggage here, so you’ll need to use the station lockers.

The shopping and other amenities nearby were excellent, and the facilities inside were great too. There was a vacuum cleaner, kitchen, dishes, and microwave, which was perfect. Towels are supplied, but there are no pajamas or yukata (Japanese-style robes). I booked through Agoda. The communication before check-in was in English, which I found a bit challenging.

Works for exactly 3 people: two can sleep on the bed and one on the mattress. Most essentials, including detergent and shower supplies, are provided, which is nice.

The stairs are narrow, so getting downstairs could be difficult if you’re carrying lots of purchases. The room itself is small, but it has what you need: a TV, refrigerator, bathtub, induction cooker, pots and pans, microwave, Bluetooth speaker, and washing machine. There’s a 24-hour Seiyu department store nearby, similar to a convenience store chain like PX Mart, where you can buy simple meals.
