The hotel reflects aspects of Japan's culture. The requirement to remove shoes and walk around the hotel, including your room and the restaurant, in either socks or bare feet is at first novel but Westerners may find the novelty quickly wears off.It would be more acceptable if the tatami mats were not made of plastic (plastami mats?) For instance the process of going to the reception desk is tedious. Guests have to go from their room in bare feet or wear their socks - the 'Big-toe' socks provided by the hotel are far too small for the average Westerners feet - once in the reception area you must retrieve your shoes from the provided lockers - or risk breaking your ankles on stilt-like sandals - put on your shoes without touching the mats walk across to the desk to make your inquiry or hand in your laundry, and then repeat the process to get back to your room. The rooms are of an adequate size and very clean. Breakfast is fine with both Japanese and Western dishes - if you use a knife and fork, (which we carry with us in Japan!!) be prepared for curious looks and possibly a surreptitious photo - all very friendly though.The staff are extremely helpful and language is no problem. This hotel is to be recommended for a couple of nights to explore the delights of Sakaiminato.

Having the atmosphere of old traditional Japanese hotel, this Nono provides the modern style service as well.

To enjoy the Japanese culture, you should visit Onsen on the 12th floor. You'll find beautifully decorated flower arrangement baskets on your way to Onsen.

It is amazing to find such a wonderful hotel with modern facilities in the cozy atmosphere of good old Japan.
