We weren’t used to the self check-in service, but the staff led us to the machine and it was smooth and easy. Breakfast buffet had many local and western food options, delicious free late night ramen, you get to wear Samue while in the hotel, beds were surprisingly comfortable for traditional Japanese room (wasn’t sure what to expect), and onsen was fantastic! Especially the rooftop outdoor onsen. We were there for 3 days, 3 nights. They offered cleaning every day, which you let them know by putting a magnet tag on the door by 1pm, which was nice. We never had a chance to try private onsens as they were always occupied. Although you are supposedly limited to half hour in the private onsen, there is no one to check and make sure you are using only half hour. I’m not sure if guests do follow this rule or take advantage of it. Thanks for a great stay!
