The building was old, and rain was leaking from the ceiling of the room. It said that there would be yukata in the amenities, but I couldn't find it anywhere, only one yukata obi and two jackets, so I was a little confused. If it's on a different floor, I think it would be kind of you to show me around.

I had some business to do nearby, so I visited the restaurant to have lunch after checking the official website that it was open. However, when I entered the lobby, there was no one there, so when I rang the bell 🛎️ at the front desk and asked, I was told, ``We can't accommodate a group today! Did you have a reservation?'' ” was the reply.I thought there was no need to bother to check by phone, but I thought it might be necessary to provide information on the official website. There was no apology or refusal. That's a shame.

I used it for lunch during a medical checkup. It has been renovated after the coronavirus and is very beautiful.

I used it for lunch. The taste was delicious, but it was a little smaller than the photo posted online, and I thought 1200 yen was too expensive. Thank goodness there is a children's play area! The staff was very nice and I would like to use them again.

I came here for a friend's wedding. I thought all the dishes were delicious. There were a lot of candy store items on the table, so it felt nostalgic and the kids enjoyed eating them.
