Really good Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet was absolutely good, offering a wide range of options including both Japanese and Western-style dishes. I especially appreciated the quality of the food and how well it catered to various dietary preferences. Each morning felt like a feast!

Spacious Japanese-Style Room

My stay in the Japanese-style room was spacious and comfortable, with traditional tatami flooring that provided a cozy ambiance. I loved the serene atmosphere and the sofa that offered a perfect view of the river. It really enhanced my experience!

Relaxing Onsen Experience

The public baths were a good escape! I visited just before closing time and enjoyed the private atmosphere. The baths offered an excellent assortment, including a sauna and cold tub, which made for a rejuvenating experience after a long day.

Engaging Cormorant Fishing

Participating in the ukai cormorant fishing arranged by the hotel was one of the highlights of my trip. Watching these birds in action while enjoying the beautiful riverside views made for an lovely evening. Highly recommend this unique experience!
