I was part of a tour group and we stayed here on our last night. It was a very pleasant experience and gave us a chance to relax after walking the streets of Tokyo and Osaka.||||When we arrived at the station, there was a hotel shuttle bus waiting for us. Most opted to ride, others opted to send their luggage ahead and walk to the hotel. It was a quick and pleasant walk through narrow shop lined streets. The hotel is in a good location. It's a few minute walk from the station, shops, restaurants, and even the ocean!||||The hotel interior is nice. Some of the decor is a little dated (be sure to check out the carpet on the 6th floor) I wasn't able to explore inside much, but there's a little shop great for picking up cute souvenirs and the staff there was very pleasant and spoke a little English. There are big rooms near the elevators/men's baths that can be reserved for group parties. ||||The Japanese style room I stayed in was lovely with tatami mats and a nice sitting area with sliding shoji screens. The view of an empty pool wasn't fantastic but I was definitely not there for the view. In the evening the staff sets out futons and I found the futon very comfy but the pillow was a little too firm. The hotel provides yukata (robes) and our group wore them for the duration of our stay.||||The public baths were a new experience. It was a little intimidating having to be nude around others, but as soon as I was in the water, all of my anxieties melted away. I wished the women's outdoor bath was a little more "outdoors" but I understand there being a desire for more privacy. The indoor bath was a little too hot for me so I stuck to the outdoor one. A lot of people in our group had tattoos so either they're allowed, or ignored due to the number of people that were in our group.|| ||There was a buffet style breakfast on the 6th floor with an assortment of different eastern and western food choices to suit all tastes from fish and tea to croissants and cafe au lait. There's a nice view of the city line and mountains from the 6th floor. ||||My stay here was pleasant and I would visit again. I recommend it to unwind at the end of a long trip. Check in and make a beeline for the baths!
