Not I only the dinner was delicious, the server, Samiko served our table with ready smile and care approach. The whole evening was delightful with her efficient and courteous service.

An other Japanese young lady ( very sorry forgot her name) ecorted us to our room with friendly attitude. The view in the room was spectacular which right opposite to the Yubara Onsen.

My room came with a private outdoor large
tub with real onsen water from Yubara.

Although majority of the guests were locals,
there are English speaking staffs plus
the owner Okamichan who spoke it fluently.
Overall a nice getaway from the touristy
Osaka and Kyoto scene.
