Luxurious Onsen Experience

The onsen facilities were fantastic! I indulged in both the indoor and outdoor baths, surrounded by serene landscapes. The space was well-maintained, spacious, and I truly felt relaxed and rejuvenated after my visits. They even provided complimentary tea and amazake, which was a lovely touch.

My stay at this resort was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making it a pleasant retreat. I loved the pool area, which was very well-maintained. However, the dining options, especially for breakfast, could use some improvement. Also, while the value for money is decent, it would have been nice if some amenities were included in the price.
