forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 3.73 out of 5 (4,620 reviews). Guests praise the wide variety at the buffet and the dishes cooked on the spot at the live kitchen. There are two baths that swap between men and women in the morning and evening, so you can enjoy both, and families are pleased with the child-size yukata to borrow and the table tennis. Some guests also say the Japanese-Western rooms are spacious and relaxing. On the other hand, the open-air baths are not connected to the indoor baths, so you have to get changed and walk over, and meals are served in three seatings, which makes an early check-in reassuring.
