  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window is specific — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • Parking may not be on-site — While parking is available, it is described as 'nearby', so it might not be directly at the property or could be limited.

“The basement at Otohaya was awesome – met great people, beds were surprisingly comfy, and each had a fan. Staff were friendly and social, and being next to a soba place added to the fun. Osu Kannon is just a 10-minute walk away. One of the best guesthouses I've stayed at.”
