  • My spouse and I stayed from Sunday to Monday. The front desk staff were pleasant, and while the baths are not brand-new, we were very satisfied with the sauna and walking pool. I also joined a löyly event in the sauna for the first time. We chose the dinner buffet, which offered a good variety of dishes, all tasty, and my wife especially enjoyed the desserts. The parking fee was reasonable, and on Monday we were able to leave our car parked while we took a walk around the nearby Heijō Palace Site. We would love to stay again if we have the chance.

  • The Room size, bed size, and comfort of the Onsen. The parking capacity as well. I loved everything, including how the staff treated us.This was my first time relaxing on a lovely sofa in the lounge and slowly enjoying the complimentary coffee while watching the flowing waterfall.
