  • From arrival to departure, we fully enjoyed the all-inclusive experience. After checking in from the hot outdoors, the beer we had right away in the lounge was amazing. Dinner was a relaxing time with international cuisine and delicious drinks. The Onsen features two large open-air baths, perfect for unwinding. After dinner, the lounge offers sake, shochu, and local cream cheese. Breakfast also had such a wide variety that we ended up eating until we were full again. This is a Hotel you’ll want to visit again.

    ぼたんちゃんと! 7/13/2026
  • We stayed here for the first time last year with my daughter’s family (five of us) and had such a wonderful experience that we returned again this year. Last year was in autumn, so we couldn’t use the pool, but this time we made a Reservation for the day our grandchildren started their summer vacation so we could enjoy the pool as well. From the welcome drinks (including alcohol) on arrival to the dinner buffet with a wide variety of international dishes, our growing grandchildren were very satisfied. Of course, the adults also enjoyed a luxurious time while savoring all kinds of alcoholic beverages. This year there seemed to be fewer Chinese guests, which made it feel even more relaxing. Our grandchildren say they want to come every year, so we would love to stay again. Thank you very much.
