    “Tienen servicio de shuttle para llevarte y recogerte de la estación. Estamos muy contentos con el personal, siempre con una sonrisa. El señor de recepción, nos sacó fotos enfrente de la fuente del hotel y todo. Un amor. Fue nuestro primer kaiseki y la comida nos gustó muchísimo. El onsen público estaba impecable.”

    “Awesome place. Really lovely. Staff was great, excellent location (the island is very small so everything is near). It was very expensive though. I don’t know if it’s worth paying that much. It was our most expensive hotel in Japan. Having said that, staying one night in the island was the best we could do.”

  • Had higher expectations for the price
