Delicious Buffet Meals

During my stay, I was delighted by the all-you-can-eat buffet for both breakfast and dinner. The food quality was really good, surpassing typical buffet standards. Each dish was freshly prepared and bursting with flavor – definitely a culinary highlight of my stay! I particularly enjoyed the variety and the good pastries; the croissants were to die for!

Wonderful Onsen Experience

The onsen facilities were among my favorite aspects of the resort. I especially loved the stunning views from the indoor onsen, where I could relax while gazing at the sunset over the sea. The outdoor foot spa was a highlight during my winter visit, providing a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the area.
