The hotel was about 1 km away from the train station and no taxis run near the station late in the evening. There are not many restaurants in the immediate area if you don't make it in time for the hotel restaurant's last order time of 9:30 p.m. The hotel's public bath on the ground floor is great for a hot soak, but not very large. Early morning hours are best for having it to yourself (it opens at 5 a.m.) The complimentary breakfast tends to be more Japanese than Western. There was no sandwich bread for toast, but some other bread rolls.
