    Dinner only plan ★ Ayaka Kaiseki ★ "Early riser & early morning sleeper" *No breakfast [Dinner]

    ☆New plan☆ Once again, it has been introduced based on customer feedback. This plan is a 1 night plan with dinner and no breakfast. Words I often hear in conversations with customers recently "I don't always eat breakfast." ``I won't be able to eat breakfast tomorrow morning because I have to leave early.'' ``I want to sleep slowly in the morning,'' etc. If you're worried about breakfast and can't enjoy your meal slowly, It's also sad for our staff. Then... "Plan without breakfast!" ! ” Please feel free to use it. <Dinner> Enjoy a seasonal Kaiseki meal. [Children's dinner menu] ■Elementary school students (upper and lower grades) = Children's Kaiseki ■Infant = Children's lunch (hamburger, fried shrimp, etc.) 【Option menu】 ◆Breakfast: 1,650 yen (please let us know when checking in) <Hot spring> You can use the hotel's large public bath, open-air bath, and the adjacent Dondokoyu.
