the room was large by Japanese standards. it had a great bathtub.
i understand that most hotels in the area provide small rooms, and this was no exception. the bed WAS pushed against the wall, so one person had to crawl out at any one time.

poor sound insulationbanging noises
the sound insulation was terrible. i could hear everything happening in nearby rooms. banging noises at night and early in the morning made sleep nearly impossible. i really think they should address this poor soundproofing issue. maybe thicker walls or better insulation would do the trick.
