Hotel Kikusuitei

West-wing Japanese special room (12 + 4.5 tatami, bath, two toilets)

The best value for families and groups: a 12-tatami main room plus a 4.5-tatami side room and window-side engawa, two toilets and two washbasins, sleeping up to six, on floors 3–5 (9 rooms). Plans for this wing can include dinner in your room. It is where upgraded guests often land: a January 2023 blogger was moved to Room 523 and a November 2023 blogger to Room 425, and a group of four in June 2026 found the side room and second toilet ideal. In May 2026 one guest booked into a fifth-floor west room was woken at about 1 a.m. by bath-cleaning noise from the sixth-floor baths above, so ask for a lower floor if you're a light sleeper.

West-wing Japanese-Western room (twin beds + 8 tatami) or Room 325

Only two Japanese-Western rooms exist, with a sofa living room, twin beds, an 8-tatami room for extra futons (up to four) and barrier-free access from the bedroom to the toilet and washbasin. A November 2024 blogger was upgraded into one at the price of a 10-tatami room and found it big enough for a whole extended family. Room 325 is the single 'Reiwa modern' room (72.3 m²), furnished in local Tenryū timber with Simmons semi-double beds and a lake-view bath. A July 2026 guest in a twin room loved the wood smell but found the air conditioner above the bed noisy until it was adjusted.

East-wing 10-tatami room (shower only)

The cheapest rooms (the majority, three of them with beds on tatami) have a toilet and an old unit shower but no tub, and the inn's own site says it doesn't recommend the east wing to guests who care about room quality. Recent guests mention a 'retro' bathroom (August 2026), a bathroom too dated to share with a small child (May 2026), and children's voices next door and footsteps overhead (May 2026). Hair dryers are in the baths, not the room (loan dryers at the front desk). On the plus side, many weekday guests in 2023–2026 were upgraded free — but it isn't guaranteed.
