Yuki Shrine

I booked this hotel some months ago and I started reading reviews prior to check in. I'll admit I got a bit nervous. That being said we decided to stay the night and try it out. First impressions were that there was more space than many rooms we've stayed in while in Japan. Many features look newish and it has a full kitchen. Then things get weird. The wall paper is peeling off. There's a persistent bad smell. There's roach traps everywhere. I tried to shower and the shower nozzle fell off. My husband tried to leave to do a Lawson run and the latch on the lock fell off. The beds were surprisingly comfortable but it's also loud in the morning with people talking in the alleyway. It was fine for the night but I wouldn't stay here again.

The staff are friendly and helpful and we would have given 5 stars or 10/10, however the road traffic noise lets this property down. We spent 6 nights here and it is quite noticeable at night (garbage trucks, sirens and general traffic noise) which unfortunately affected our sleep I think our room was more towards the front of the property if possible ask for a room at the back of the property had we have known this we would’ve been asked to move. Lots of restaurants, nearby and supermarkets and walking distance to a train station.

Staff was very friendly and helpful
