Hotel Surroundings

The hotel was located in a lively area around the station. There were supermarkets, drug stores and 100-yen uniform shops next to each other, and there were many convenience stores and restaurants in the immediate vicinity which was convenient. Although it was a lively location, it was quiet in the hotel I was able to relax in my room. It was within walking distance to Kitano Ijingai and Nankinmachi, and you can easily go sightseeing in Kobe.
