Beautiful Hotel
"The hotel was perfect with a beautiful sunrise view. Make sure you find food before you arrive to the town, not many restaurants around. If I could change anything about my stay, I wouldn't. It was absolutely perfect. Best breakfast buffet I've ever had at a Japanese hotel. Do it, you won't regret ..."
