Chikugo River Bousai Institution

There is a front desk but it is unmanned. Check-in and check-out is done via a tablet and a magnet board respectively. They offer refreshing small health drinks in the entryway which was very nice! The rooms are clean, fully stocked with amenities and offer a sense of luxury for brief or extended stays. If you are unaccustomed to the size of typical Japanese hotel rooms, it is bit small but offered just enough room for 2 with a full kitchen, bathroom and balcony. The location is in a neighborhood that includes regular local businesses, schools and a brief 10 minute walk from the nearest station. Overall, a pleasant and recommended stay for anyone looking for a quiet, clean environment.
