The accommodation is close to the train station, just a short walk away. There are many convenience stores nearby. The room is spacious enough to open a suitcase, and the toilet and shower are separate. I'm very impressed and will definitely stay here again.

The indoor space is small, but although the sparrow is small and complete, there are some. There is no elevator, if there is a large luggage and it is very hard to stay on the third floor.
