It is a budget hotel where you can stay for 3,000 yen to 8,000 yen per night.

The hotel is very well-equipped and safe, so I recommend it. There is also a women-only floor, so you can use it safely.

The rooms are spacious, well air-conditioned and quiet. There are many toilets and they are clean.

Free loungewear, free towels, free vending machines, free massage machines, free food and drink, and free unlimited manga reading. Free bedclothes, free towels, free vending machines, free massage machines, free food and drinks, and free reading of manga.

There is no breakfast or dinner, but there are many restaurants in the area and they are open from early morning until late at night, so it is cheaper to eat out.
