Akisawa Hotel

Inconvenient by rail. The building is old, which can’t really be helped. Open the window and you’re facing the neighboring building. However, the guest rooms have been renovated and are very clean. Housekeeping is good, and there is an air purifier as well. The air conditioning is not centrally controlled; each room has its own unit, which is convenient to use. For this price range, I don’t expect more in terms of amenities. Disposable slippers are provided, and the toiletries are Kao products, which was more than satisfactory. As for meals, it seems the restaurant only operates in the morning, so it’s basically just standard catering-style items lined up—well, that can’t be helped. Still, I appreciated that they used clean and eco-friendly (carbon-neutral) disposable wooden chopsticks rather than plastic chopsticks that are said to be unhygienic due to bacteria clinging to tiny invisible scratches in petroleum-based materials. Overall, for a small Hotel in a small city away from major urban areas, it was definitely better quality than expected.

There are both an old building and a new building, as well as some renovated rooms. I booked the new building this time, but it wasn't one of the renovated rooms. It seems they have been expanding over time, and there is a noticeably newer-looking door zone midway through—perhaps that's where the renovated rooms are?Although the older rooms show their age, they are thoroughly cleaned, and you receive a hand towel at check-in. The location is very convenient with nearby restaurants and convenience stores. The parking lot is right in front of the accommodation, making it easily accessible. The front desk staff provides clear guidance, making this accommodation a great value for money option!
