Sky Plaza MISAWA

definitally on the older side. room was decently big but everything was yellowing. overall fine as most other hotels were full that day

This was an amazing experience, staying in a renovated samurai home. I stayed in the larger suite and had a full view of the garden and a lanterned alcove just outside the bath. Everything is new and clean, and the owners clearly take pride in this historic home. Even the tatami seams are artful. The staff was so friendly. I only speak a little Japanese, but they were patient and kind while I thought of the right words, and check-in was lovely. They also held my bag while I went sightseeing. It was so quiet at night that I slept very well. I didn't hear anything from the restaurant, just the occasional road noise, but it wasn't a bother at all. The traditional futon was cozy! I would absolutely stay here again, especially if I returned with a group because it's a rare 2-bedroom (4 futons) and very spacious.
