Pros:

Zimmer, Lage, Angebot, Bar, Essen hervorragend

Cons:

Das Essen war, als rein japanisches Abendessen und Frühstück, für unsere Kinder ziemlich eine Herausforderung.

非常放鬆
Pros:

這個飯店真的超級棒，晚上有山頂夜景觀星活動，夜景很棒，觀星的話光害太嚴重了，大廳還有篝火可以烤棉花糖，晚餐是吃創意料理，有個人溫泉可以預約，建議早上約一次晚上約一次，可以體驗不同的風景

Cons:

自行開車來會遇到若草山的收費處，如果飯店有在那邊多放一個說明就好了

4 months waiting for promised partial refund, still not received.
Cons:

We were promised a partial refund, as the hotel explained it aligns with their policy and agreed to issue it. However, I have not received it for the past four months, and my messages are being ignored.
