The check-in was more difficult than I would’ve liked, as I needed to download the app, and then the app didn’t work.

Spacious, modern rooms in a great location with friendly staff. Highly recommend Kabin Minamiza.
Pros:

We had a large room and it was extremely spacious and comfortable, especially by Japan standards. The room was modern, clean, and nicely updated. The location was excellent with easy access to restaurants, shops, and public transportation. The staff were also very helpful and friendly during our stay.

Would definitely recommend this accommodation.
Pros:

Great accommodation- rooms were clean and spacious enough. Had everything we needed. The washing facilities for our clothes were a bonus and much appreciated. Staff were very professional, welcoming and helped us with any of our queries. And, the location was perfect- we could walk to most places, ample restaurants within a few steps, and easy access to all public transport.
