Relaxing Bathhouse Experience
“I truly enjoyed the beautiful bathhouse section of the hotel. After walking an astonishing 25 kilometers in a single day, soaking in the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind. By the end of my stay, I eagerly anticipated my long soaks in the serene atmosphere of the bathhouse, making it a highlight of my visit.” view full review
Authentic Japanese Futons
“The traditional Japanese style futons provided an authentic lodging experience. Though they were different from Western-style beds, I had a good sleep all three nights. It was a pleasant surprise to embrace this aspect of Japanese culture and appreciate the comfort they offered during my stay.” view full review
Unique Bathing Experience
“The hotel offered a unique approach to bathing with a communal bath setup. I found it interesting and refreshing to wash in the hotel's bath instead of having a shower in my room. However, be mindful if you have tattoos, as access to the baths is limited for cultural reasons. I enjoyed my bathing experience; it added to the distinctiveness of my stay.” view full review
Convenient Snack Options Nearby
“Having a family mart nearby was incredibly convenient for grabbing snacks or essentials during my stay. It made it easy to refuel after a long day of exploring, allowing me to enjoy quick bites in the comfort of my room or right before heading out again.” view full review
