Still, we were very happy with the size and comfort. The bathroom stood out—the fixtures were high-end and so relaxing after a long day of exploring. While the price wasn’t cheap (over ¥100,000 for the suite), considering the location, service, and overall quality, it felt worth every yen. We only found availability through this platform, which made it even more special. A memorable stay with a great balance of comfort and value—definitely planning to return.
