"This was seriously our favourite hotels we have stayed in for such a long time. It exceeded every expectation we had and our children DID NOT want to leave. They cried when we did. We considered day tripping to Osaka just to stay there longer. But alas 3 nights was all we could manage on this trip but we will be back! "
