Spacious rooms with full amenities and bathroom equipped for both Japanese and Western preferences. The lounge was a lovely spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing in the Summer heat, with complimentary wines, beers and snacks - our family especially loved the Chazuke supper!

Japan has some of the best customer service in the world, but the staff here stood out. Andrea gave us an impromptu tour of the facilities and went out of her way to help us. The attention to detail when it came to the decor was outstanding. If you love Nintendo, this is the place to stay. It definitely surpasses a 5 star hotel. It deserves a 6!!!!
