fantastic hotel experience!

relaxing onsen modern amenities

the onsen was relaxing. the location was also excellent, providing easy access to local attractions. i really enjoyed the modern amenities, including the in-room washing machine and user-friendly tablet controls for lights and air conditioning.

I had a room without a clear view. It faced a wall, a bit disappointing, though the room itself was comfortable.
