"Pros: The interior design of this renovated fish warehouse is wonderful. The Hagi pottery and glassware for you to use is beautiful. The shower has a powerful shower head and the endless hot water allows for hot water massage therapy after a long day walking and trying to get warmed up before bed. We appreciated the grey knit tabi socks to wear to bed. The lighting spotlighted the ceiling rafters and other interior features. You could hear the rain on the roof and the falcons keening to each other in the early morning. Cons: We were lucky our taxi driver from the HigashiHagi JR Station was patient. It wasn't until we slid back the heavy grated door that we were able to see the Hagi Kannuki 168 designation. The floor in the living area and kitchen is cement and the walls and ceiling are the original and uninsulated so the cold seeps in. The wooden geta in lieu of slippers keeps your feet off the floor but are clonky. There are no condiments, pots and pans, or stove top in the kitchen. You are meant to order out or microwave your meals. The information notebook is all in Japanese so non-Japanese readers are on their own. No bus route maps or city maps are provided. There are coffee sachets but no tea bags or bottled water is provided. There is no access to the closet but there is a coat rack with hangers to use. If you don't have a car, you can walk but distances are further than suggested by the city map (tourist information at the JR station). (The blue and orange bus lines are only 100Y and get you around town.)The free wifi was weak so we ended up using our own pocket wifi. There is only one window way up above the rafters. Staying for more than the 3 days that we did would have been difficult." ~Joan
