I give five stars to this place the traditional Japanese house experience is perfect however, if you’re traveling with your kid, you may not choose a traditional room because it’s just mattresses on the floor. There is no seating place or other spaces if you would like to experience, how is a Japanese traditional house feels like that’s your place

This was the most spacious apartment. We had 6 adults and had room to move which was great. Beds were comfy and there was everything you needed. Check in is self serve so just have to work that out and you are all good to go.
