Overall a great room with a lot of space for Japan. I had the twin room and the shower was a spacious wet room and there was even a couch. I liked it being in a great shopping area, only part that was hard is area gets very busy on weekends so can be hard to get into some of the local ramen shops late at night. Overall recommend the Forza hotel, one free sake a night was also a plus!

This hotel was beautiful and in a great location. Staff was friendly and helpful and so many things in walkable distance. There was an entry to the sub station literally right below us. The only issue I had and I wouldnt really call it an issue but I do with they had more washing machines. There were only 4 in the entire hotel and nearly impossible to wash a load.
