I chose Courtyard to keep the cost down a little. It was nicer than I had expected, and the front-desk staff were kind.

A useful chance to do laundry.LAUNDRY

On this stay, I could use the hotel laundry machines free of charge. It was helpful to catch up on the washing that had built up during the trip.

Dinner was at nearby TANIKU. Two bowls of ramen, two beers and tsukune came to over ¥10,000 including the tip. Even so, it was a delicious, satisfying meal.
