When it’s time to sleep, guests can retire to the adjoining 急行:EX イン駅長室 or “Limited Express: Stationmaster’s Office” which is equipped with a bed and standard room facilities. Both hotels are located within a 2-minute walking distance from their respective stations, and offer laundry services, luggage storage, an assortment of complementary amenities and Simmons brand bedding in every room.
