Guests appreciate the friendly and accommodating staff, even for last-minute reservations. The free parking and walkable access to the station and dining options are praised. While the building shows its age, the value for money and comfort of the stay make it a trusted choice among travelers.
As of October 2025, the price is not 6,000 yen but 7,000 yen for a room without meals. There was no special “pilgrim discount.” The coin laundry costs 500 yen for washing and 100 yen for drying, totaling 600 yen. Since it felt rather expensive, I decided not to use it.
★★★ (3 out of 5 stars)
