Especially for couples who are expecting their first child, it will be a while before they can travel together! We will support you to make your trip the best memory you can have♪ ■Three great benefits 1: Comfortable to sleep in♪ "Maternity cushion & room wear" provided 2: "Caffeine-free coffee" provided for a relaxing break 3: "Soft drinks" provided instead of aperitifs ■Food For dinner, we will prepare the "seasonal Shikisai Kaiseki" that has earned us the nickname "Gourmet Inn".
