Hotel was less than a mile from the castle which was awesome to see. The room was large size compared to other Japanese hotels. Beds were very hard, but comfy if you like a very firm mattress. Bathrooms are very small. Felt like I was in a camper bathroom. Breakfast was not western style at all, completely all Japanese food so if you are expecting American food, this is not the place to stay. The little pub inside the hotel was so quaint, we loved it! If you are looking for a place to sleep and shower, this is for you. If you are looking for luxury and all the extras, go someplace else.
