forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.67 out of 5 (878 reviews). Guests say the binoculars in the room let them watch Lake Shinji's wild birds and the shijimi clam fishing, which children enjoyed too. Reviews also mention families enjoying the meals with children, including a child who doesn't usually like fish saying the simmered fish was the best dish of all. On the other hand, some guests felt the air conditioning was weak.
