Location and route to the venue
The hotel opened in 2021, a 1-minute walk from Kanayama Station’s east exit. Like the ANA Crowne Plaza a short walk away, this hotel gets you a one-minute walk to Kanayama Station and a single no-transfer JR ride (~6 min) to Kasadera Station, then a further ~3-minute walk to the venue — just at a business-hotel rate instead of a full-service one.
Room size and facilities
Double Standard rooms run 15–17 m² (161–183 sq ft) with a 140cm bed; Queen Economy is 19 m² with a 160cm bed (no true king in any category); Twin Standard runs 22–26 m²; and the Family Room reaches 28 m², according to the official choice-hotels.jp room page.

Breakfast and guest lounge
