Kouyurou Ikawa presents an unfortunate scenario when it comes to cleanliness, according to several guest reviews. The common thread among these accounts highlights a series of issues barely meeting acceptable standards. Visitors frequently noted dust accumulation in various areas, including the bathroom and lobby, detracting from the expected tidiness.
