The room was cozy, and I enjoyed the hot springs .

I was disappointed that the hotel did not provide vegan options. It was also very difficult to find alternative food nearby after opting out of the meal package. Guests did not respect people's privacy while using the private onsens.

I enjoyed the hot springs during both evenings of my stay. The location seemed good, close to a convenience store (very handy!).

The room felt a bit outdated to me. The hotel didn't offer vegan options, so I skipped the meal package (this was a bit of a letdown).
