10/10 Excellent
"Great stay! Great breakfast buffet. Ice cream and ramen in the evening was a plus. Loved the massage chair and the onsen baths. Appreciated having QR code to get info on bath etiquette. Hotel was very busy so line for breakfast was very long. They had a wait system that was very efficient. We had breakfast at 6:30 am when it opened so no line issues for us."
