“Fulfilling overnight trip”
The day before we visited Hieizan, checked in at 3pm, took a dip in the pool, had dinner at the nearby Hyotei restaurant, had a buffet breakfast at the hotel, and went to Nanzenji Temple and Nishiki Market the next day. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and perfect. The pool and spa were well thought out from the user's point of view. The breakfast was delicious and varied. The only thing that bothered me was the cold water that collected in the spa's lounging chairs, and the tubs that are placed to pour hot water over the chairs, but they can't keep up. I don't think it is possible because of the shape. The lounging chairs were very comfortable, but I had to leave early because my buttocks were cold. We also tried to use the shuttle bus, but it didn't indicate the departure time, so we wandered around and when we asked, we had to stop because of the long wait. It would be better if it was easier to find. Overall, the hotel is very good and I would like to use it again in the future.
