We chose the Japanese set, with grilled fish as the main dish, rice, and side dishes, all beautifully decorated in Japanese style. The hotel's highlight is the Onsen, which is large and luxurious. Guests can use the service for free. The Onsen rooms are separated for men and women. Inside the Onsen, there is one indoor hot spring pool and one outdoor hot spring pool, as well as a cold spring and sauna, which is considered complete and meets the needs of those who want to relax and soak in a hot spring in a hotel like this.
