Togakushi Forest Botanical Garden

The breakfast was excellent with many options available. The amenities on the third floor were appreciated: laundry (credit card-based), room with massage chairs, gym, and relaxation room. The gym is cardio machines with some room for stretching/bodyweight movements. The standard double room felt small for 2 people, as some of the space was not utilized/planned very well (for example, more storage space should be prioritized over a rack for wine glasses, in my honest opinion). Location is not considered central, but is about a 6-minute walk to nearest metro station.

We were so spoiled as guests and consequently had very high expectations for the following stays during our trip (that those fell short). Very friendly and helpfull staff. Spacious room. Not very centrally located, but there were some cafes/ restaurants and convenient stores on walking distance. We arrived very early in the morning and had to pay for an extra night in order to get the room before check in time (price was higher than when booked thru Expedia)
