I found the beautiful corner king room very spacious. It featured plump pillows and a very comfortable bed. It had its own onsen on the porch and a nice bathroom.
The hotel was noisy. I could hear everything in neighboring rooms and they provided wooden slippers. Every room seemed to have wooden floors.
