The property is along a quiet area, and there are several local restaurants just across the road, and the usual convenience stores &#8211; including Family Mart and Lawson &#8211; a few minutes walk away.<\/p>\n<p>The room I had is called a Small Double Room, with a floor area of 13 sqm. The room is located on the fourth floor, and the hotel offers a variety of in-room amenities that you can pick up from the ground floor. The hotel restaurant &#8211; where breakfast is served &#8211; is on the second floor, alongside also a coin-operated laundry room. In-room WIFI was decent with good connection speeds &#8211; enough for me to stream shows to watch.<\/p>\n<p>Pictures!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37057\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37057\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37057\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_1405540.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_1405540.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_1405540-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_1405540-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_1405540-731x488.jpg 731w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_1405540-240x160.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37057\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The hotel is a short 2 minute walk from Esca Underground Shopping Mall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37058\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37058\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37058\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_150008.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_150008.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_150008-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_150008-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_150008-731x488.jpg 731w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_150008-240x160.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37058\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Room with a double bed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37059\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37059\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37059\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_150019.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_150019.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_150019-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_150019-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_150019-731x488.jpg 731w, https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/blog-2025-japan-isate-day-01-20250906_150019-240x160.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37059\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flat screen TV with streaming apps.
