On one of the floors, there’s two microwaves and a seating area. I used this and it was very clean. There is a small Onsen and laundry facilities (which I didn’t use). I did use the Onsen facilities in their sister hotel directly opposite - wonderful! Highly recommended."

"Fun place to stay as a family! Next to amusement park, indoor and (paid for) outdoor pool. Onsen on property. Fun things like carousel, arcade and lots of (paid for) activities. A bit cumbersome that things like indoor gymnasium has to be booked one day before would have been better to be open for all etc (and more used), dated facilities (old pool/waterslide etc), and food quality is average at best at a high cost. Overall great stay and kids enjoyed it!"
