We opted for a private onsen in the room. The private onsen was outdoor wtih a shower and faucet, making it uncomfortable in the cold to shower and wash before soaking in the onsen. There were no inside shower or bath in my unit. Adjacent to the outdoor bath is a path, not sure whether it is for the public or garden care. Either way, my wife was dismayed when someone walked along the path.
Hotel room is somewhat outdated. Need renovation.
We had dinner and breakfast for 2 nights and food was good but not exciting.
booked to visit the waterfall & World Heritage sites, which were sublime, and we equally enjoyed the hotel experience. gorgeous lobby felt like a mossy forest. we had beautiful ocean & mountain view from room & from onsen. the meals were a taste of Japan prepared especially for our vegetarian diets, which we sincerely appreciated. there were dance performances that we did not expect that were a treat. & the short walk around the coastal corner to see an island torii gate was a cherry on top. I don’t know if we will ever be back in this part of the world, but dream of returning & would book this hotel
again. friendly staffthank you so much!
