Zao Onsen Zao Shiki No Hotel

Zao Onsen Zao Shiki No Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Everything was amazing. The room was spacious and my wife and I were able to rest and recover after a long multi week trip through Japan and Korea. The only downside was that the laundry facilities were temporarily out of service during our stay. Other than that I highly recommend for a peaceful night to recover the body."
