I went with my child. The food, hot springs, and staff were all great! Please be careful as the bathtub is too hot for children. Although it is old overall, it is kept clean. Unfortunately, the walls of the room were thin and I could hear the noise from my neighbors. The kids were concerned about it, it was unpleasant to listen to, and the rest was really nice, so that was the only disappointing part.

During our recent visit to the Lava Spa near Kawaguchi, we had the opportunity to try the Kobe beef A5, cooked on hot lava stones. The food itself was excellent, with the Kobe beef being incredibly tender and flavorful, showcasing the high quality of A5 grade meat.However, the overall experience was marred by several issues. The service left much to be desired, as the waiters were quite rude and inattentive. The dining environment felt cramped and barrack-like, which detracted from the enjoyment of the meal. Additionally, the lava stones used for cooking were excessively hot, making the dining area uncomfortably warm.While the food quality was impressive, the lackluster service and uncomfortable setting significantly impacted our overall dining experience.Improvement in these areas would make a return visit more appealing.
