onsenshopping streetwindow absenceescape impossibility
The onsen in the basement is nice. I find the location perfect, its really close to many restaurants, from Michelin star places to ramen bars. It is located on a wonderful shopping street. The hotel provided great value.
My room on the ground floor had no window with daylight. There wasnt a possibility of escape in an emergency. The hotel was not willing to give me another room, as they said it was fully booked, and it would have been a paid upgrade.
