Had a very pleasant stay. They provide Stickers for small tattoos you might have. The spa/ sentimental was really refreshing after travelling. The facilities were also very clean and the interior was well lit and furnished in a bright tone, which made everything fell very cozy and clean. Staff was very nice and polite. The surrounding area is also very convient, super close to a big modern mall “Sakura”. Had a very pleasant stay, would definitely visit again.

Location is very near from Sakuramachi Terminal. Also it is center of main shopping street. Onsen was excellent, breakfast buffet also great.
