“The hotel is a located inside a converted house. Everything looks very traditional, complete with low ceilings, sliding doors, mat covered floors and futons. The dorm slept four, which I though was tight, but it seems to work well enough that I slept quite well both nights. My futon had two layers and although I like a firm mattress, I did think it was quite sore on my back the 1st night.

“Super great experience living there. We dont have a car and the host arranges the pick up services between the toys kingdom and our house. They also give us the free entry tickets for toy kingdom.

I told him, we……
