Guesthouse ZenNichi

The location of the guesthouse is fantastic, less than a five-minute walk from Inari Shrine. It's like walking from the station to your home! The room was clean and tidy, equipped with a microwave, induction cooktop, and cutlery. There was laundry and drying facilities, and all amenities were provided, including slippers. The bathroom had shampoo and shower gel, and a bathtub. The only downside was the soundproofing. There are four rooms, two on the first floor and two on the second. The noise from dragging luggage around and walking on the wooden floors was somewhat disturbing. But everything else was excellent, and I have to say it was well worth it!

When I checked into the hotel, I saw disposable earplugs provided on the table and felt something was wrong. As expected, the soundproofing of the single-family building was poor at night. I could hear the neighbors talking, joking, unzipping suitcases, and opening cabinets. I couldn't fall asleep. I contacted the hotel customer service email at 2 a.m. and asked to check out early (originally scheduled for the 2nd, wanted to change to the 1st). The next day, the hotel customer service responded that early check-out would not be allowed and that there was no soundproofing problem. Other customers did not report any soundproofing problems. During the Spring Festival, I was too lazy to argue with the hotel customer service, so I packed my luggage and left early the next morning. Even if I had to pay for one more day's hotel fee, I would not be willing to sacrifice the quality of my rest and stay for one day's rent. This experience has made me better understand the characteristics of Japanese single-family houses, and I will not try it next time. Ctrip’s customer service is still great. They contacted me during the Chinese New Year, hoping that I could understand and continue to support Ctrip.

The room is neat and clean, with basic facilities, not too rich, self-service, not to mention service. The main reason is the good location. It is very convenient to take the electric train and is close to Inari Taisha Shrine.
