The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious Renovated Rooms!

I was pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of our Group & Family room in the Annex building. Newly renovated with modern fittings, it smelled wonderfully of new wood. The clever design features a communal area, a tatami section, and a room with three single beds, comfortably accommodating our party of six.

Delectable Buffet Selections

The dining experience at the hotel was great! I was particularly impressed with the buffet dinner, where dishes were prepared fresh at various stations. The continually available salad and the inclusion of drinks made it an enjoyable meal. Definitely one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had too!

Relaxation with Stunning Views

I loved the rooftop onsen with its very nice views of the surroundings. It was a serene experience, allowing me to unwind while surrounded by the tranquil beauty of nature. I particularly enjoyed soaking my feet in the good outdoor foot spa, which complemented the onsen perfectly.

Lovely Lounge with Perks

The lounge area of the hotel was a fantastic spot to relax, featuring complimentary snacks and beverages. I appreciated the bonus of having a daily scoop of ice cream, which was a good treat after a day of exploring. The ambiance was cozy, making it a perfect place to unwind.
