Each Japanese-style twin room has tatami floors with a futon bed, a private bathroom with a bathtub, and an air conditioning unit. Select rooms offer a direct view of Tokyo Skytree from the window.

Baggage storage is offered before check-in and after checkout at no extra charge. The owner and staff speak English and provide daily room cleaning with fresh towels and a new sleeping kimono. Guests can use the microwave and electric kettle in the common area.

Futon mattresses on tatami mats replace standard Western beds, and a yukata robe is provided for each guest.
