This is a great little place, with excellent service, if you are looking for a no-frills hotel. Excellent place for a tourist who is more interested in the rest of the city. I strongly recommend this place for great service, which I will complement at length later. First let me note that 'hotel' and 'b&b' are a tad generous. It is like a b&b in that it is operated by a single proprietor, so the desk is not manned 24/7. Be sure call ahead in the afternoon if you will be a late arrival. The place was clean, room was modest, with shared western bath. We did not have breakfast included, and I do not recall if it was available. We did not inquire as to spa services, nor did we find the spa lounge, which we might have used. The small lobby was the only common space we saw. Also, the cab driver did not know where it was - it is right behind the APA Hotel Ekimae Ohashi, so I would just have them drop you off there, then walk though the car-port. Long story short: I deeply appreciate that the proprietor: 1) picked up the phone and came to check us in at midnight, after the front desk closes 2) upon discovery that I had lost my passport, offered to help me locate it in the morning, 3) when I stated I would return to the train station immediately to notify the railway, he graciously joined me and acted as translator 4) that, in the morning, he, independently, contacted the railway station to see if it had been found and emailed me with the update, and when to return to pick it up.
