Questions about Minshuku Kuwataniya
What time is check-in and check-out at Minshuku Kuwataniya?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Does Minshuku Kuwataniya have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Minshuku Kuwataniya have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Minshuku Kuwataniya?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
