luggage forwardingseparate areasthin walls

the staff assisted with luggage forwarding. yukata robes were available for use. the hotel design is new and well designed. the bathroom features separate areas for the toilet and the bath, i thought that was useful.

the walls are thin, so i could hear footsteps above. this noise disrupted sleep until late. this impacted my plans.
