Condition details

Pool: Guests with tattoos may be asked to wear a rash guard at the pool — see caution notes. Pets: Dogs are welcome in dedicated Dog-Friendly Twin Rooms (¥5,093/night per dog). Vaccination documentation and specific room rules apply — see the official pet policy for full terms. Bath: 6 types of communal baths and sauna including an indoor carbonated bath, half open-air bath with sea breeze, and dry sauna. Open 3:00 PM-1:00 AM and 4:00 AM-10:30 AM.

Dog-friendly rooms are a dedicated room type — confirm availability and bring vaccination documentation.
