I had a great short stay here at the hotel. The room was spacious, especially for Japan, and we found the beds quite comfortable. However, the bathroom was very tiny, which was a bit of a struggle for someone tall like me. The onsen was a highlight and made up for the cramped bathroom. The food was plentiful and diverse, catering to different tastes, which added to the overall enjoyable experience.
