Honeymoon delight
We stayed two nights as part of our honeymoon trip to Japan. Loved everything about this place. From the Private Onsen in our room to the delightful restaurant service. We enjoyed wearing our Yukata around the building and taking in the beautiful views and enjoying the traditional breakfast. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for relaxing couple of days.
