forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.41 out of 5 (428 reviews). Guests praise the dinner and breakfast buffets as delicious, and some say meal times split into three slots kept the restaurant from getting too crowded. Other reviews mention that the baths and lounge were not crowded even during a long holiday. The lounge offers all-you-can-drink alcohol and all-you-can-eat sweets. On the other hand, some note that there is no play space such as a table-tennis table, so children may get bored, and one guest felt a comforter that was not down-filled would have been better in summer.
