8/10 Good
"The resort had a modern and stylish atmosphere, with well-designed facilities and a contemporary feel. However, I noticed that a large proportion of the guests were Korean and Chinese tourists, with relatively fewer visitors from other countries. As a result, the resort felt more like a popular international tourist destination than a quiet, traditional Japanese retreat."

"This was our second time stay, and we loved everything. The breakfast was excellent, but one foreign stuff member's sleeve was too short and the bottom was undone. The staff were friendly, though a few foreign staff members had difficulty understanding my questions in Japanese. This hotel is excellent, that is why I believe the customers would expect them to speak Japanese language in native level otherwise it will affect the longtime hotel history. I hope the hotel continues its excellent service and professional atmosphere."
