"It’s a nice onsen and outdoor pool, with reasonable prices. From the outdoor pool you can see the fireworks on weekends which was aesthetic ayeee
The onsen is pretty average, they do have a sauna though which is nice. The pool however is questionably slimy??? Probably from all the sunscreen tourists slab on but it was pretty gross. I don’t recommend you put your face in the outdoor pool lol
I didn’t try the food or any other activities.
Service was okay, but there’s a lot of people coming in and out so they can’t possibly tend to eveyone.
Overall I give it a 6/10"
