Dinner is served in a private room or in the room. The dishes change depending on what's in season, including seasonal dishes like grilled flounder yolk tofu, tuna yam, snapper buds, sweet shrimp, etc. You can eat a plate of country side dishes, miso potatoes, Aqua Farm eggs, and other breakfast staples. The baths are quite extensive, and you can enjoy the Wado mineral springs in the indoor rock bath and open-air bath, as well as the indoor and open-air cypress baths, and there is a large free private bath and private bedrock bath. What's great about this is that the prices are reasonable.
