Authentic Japanese Experience

I enjoyed the traditional Japanese room. It gave me a wonderful cultural experience. The facility was very clean and well kept. I took advantage of the onsens. They are tattoo friendly. I found them quite relaxing after long walks. I also had asagohan every morning. The food was amazing.
My sole issue concerned the restaurant staff. I felt they could improve their hospitality.
