Located close to the two railway stations (which are on either side of the road). Clean but small to medium room. Helpful and friendly staff. Japanese breakfast. Japanese comic library (the 'Relax Room') for those who like that sort of thing. Two nice restaurants close (one of which we successfully tested for dinner) and a large cafe (which was fine for a cheap filling lunch). Took bus to nearby pottery village, which was lovely, but the buses we very infrequent.
