Is there a washing machine?
Yes - every room has one, and it is free to use. In the 2R the detergent and softener are dispensed automatically. In the 1R we leave detergent capsules (single-dose pods you drop into the drum) on top of the machine. Please avoid running the machine between 22:00 and 08:00.
Is there a rice cooker?
1R rooms have a rice cooker. 2R rooms do not.
What is the cancellation policy?
It depends on the plan. On the Room Only plan (standard rate), cancelling from 6 days before arrival onward, cancelling on the day of arrival, or not turning up costs 100% of the accommodation charge; cancelling earlier than that is free. On the Official Site Exclusive 20% off room rate plan, which applies to stays of 2 nights or more, cancelling from 30 days before arrival onward, cancelling on the day of arrival, or not turning up costs 100% of the accommodation charge; cancelling earlier than that is free. Day counts treat the arrival date itself as "day 0", so the day before arrival is "day 1", based on Japan Standard Time. Where no cancellation charge applies, the amount you prepaid is refunded to the card you booked with. The policy shown on the booking page at the time you book is the one that applies to your booking, so please check it there. Shortening your stay, moving your dates or cancelling only part of a booking is also handled on the site you booked with, and the cancellation policy may apply to the nights you drop.
What is the difference between a 1R and a 2R room?
"1R" is our studio type and "2R" is our two-bedroom type. A 1R (4 of them, about 22 sqm, up to 3 guests) is a studio with a loft - a low-ceilinged sleeping platform reached by a ladder, where you cannot stand up. It has a double bed and a futon (a Japanese mattress laid out on the floor), a combined bath-shower-toilet unit with a bathtub, and a rice cooker. A 2R (2 of them, about 40 sqm, up to 7 guests) has two bedrooms, a living room and a loft, all booked together as one unit: two queen beds, a sofa bed and futons, a separate shower room with no bathtub, and a toilet in its own room with a heated seat and bidet. The 2R has no rice cooker. The bedding layout varies slightly by room, and in the 2R so does the number of lofts and futons. Rooms are assigned on the day of check-in, so we cannot promise a specific room or bedding layout in advance.
Is the kitchen good enough to actually cook?
IH cooktop, fridge, microwave and kettle in every room; a rice cooker in 1R rooms. Supermarkets and convenience stores are nearby.
Is there a washing machine in the room?
Yes, every room has a washing machine.
What is the longest I can stay?
There is no set maximum length of stay. Please check the booking page for current rates and availability.
Is the bedding the same in every room?
Not exactly. A 1R room sleeps up to 3 with a double bed, a futon and a loft, but the bedding layout may vary slightly by room.
