Comfortable Traditional Stay
“I stayed in a Japanese-Style Twin Room with a private bathroom, and it was an amazing experience. The room was spacious with tatami mats and equipped with futon beds that were incredibly comfortable. Every day, I looked forward to the freshly cleaned yukata provided. The traditional ambiance made the stay feel authentic and nice.” view full review

Relaxing Onsen Experience
“I couldn't get enough of the onsen! It was a perfect way to unwind after long days of sightseeing. The onsen was well-kept and provided a serene atmosphere to relax and rejuvenate. I enjoyed meeting fellow guests there, and it added a social element to the experience, even better.” view full review
